Connectors and Cables
This appendix includes switch connector information and network cable
information for cables that should be used with the Switch 1600M and 2424M,
including minimum pin-out information and specifications for twisted-pair
cables.
N o t e
Incorrectly wired cabling is the most common cause of problems for LAN
communications. HP recommends that you work with a qualified LAN cable
installer for assistance with your cabling requirements.

Twisted Pair
Fiber-Optic
The fixed RJ-45 10/100Base-T ports on the switches and the ports on the
10/100Base-T Module accept 100-ohm unshielded and shielded twisted-
pair cable with RJ-45 connectors as described on the next page.
The ports on the 10Base-FL Module transmit at 820 nm wavelength, and
accept the multimode fiber-optic cables for 10Base-FL described on the
next page.
The ports on the 100Base-FX Module transmit at 1300 nm wavelength,
and accept the multimode fiber-optic cables for 100Base-FX described on
the next page.
The ports on the Gigabit-SX Module and the Gigabit-SX Transceiver
transmit at 850 nm wavelength, and accept the multimode fiber-optic
cables for Gigabit-SX described on the next page.
The ports on the Gigabit-LX Module and Gigabit-LX Transceiver
transmit at 1300 nm wavelength, and accept the single mode or multimode
fiber-optic cables for Gigabit-LX described on the next page.
