The Industrial Gigabit Media Converter has two SFP interfaces that
supports 100/1000 dual speed mode (Optional Multi-mode / Single-
mode 100Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX SFP module) through DIP switch
setting.
Cabling
The 10/100/1000Base-T port uses RJ-45 socket -- similar to phone jack
-- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3
/ 802.3u / 802.3ab Fast / Gigabit Ethernet standard requires Category
5 UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks can use Cat.3, 4,
5 or 1000Base-T uses 5/5e/6 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance
is 100 meters (328 feet). The 100Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX SFP slot
is used as LC connector with optional SFP module. Please see table
below and know more about the cable specifications.

10/100/1000Mbps port is auto-MDI/MDI-X and can be used on straight-
through or crossover cable.
2.1.6.1 Installing the SFP Transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP transceiver into an SFP slot.
The SFP transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can
plug in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port without having
to power down the Industrial Gigabit Media Converter as Figure 2-3
shows.
