Installation Location

Before installing the switch, plan its location and orientation relative to other
devices and equipment:

2-8
Cable Type
9/125 μm (core-cladding) diameter, 1310 nm,
low metal content, single-mode fiber optic
cables fitted with SC connectors. The cables
must comply with the ITU-T G.651 and ISO/
IEC 793-2 Type A1b or A1a standards.
Multimode fiber-optic cable designed for
Gigabit Ethernet: 62.5/125 μm (core/
cladding) diameter or 50/125 μm, 850 nm, low
metal content, complying with the ITU-T
G.652 and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1 standards.
9/125 μm (core/cladding) diameter, 1480 nm,
low metal content, single mode fiber-optic
cables, complying with the ITU-T G.652 and
ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1 standards.
9/125 μm (core/cladding) diameter, 1550 nm,
low metal content, single mode fiber-optic
cables, complying with the ITU-T G.652 and
ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1 standards.
12 fiber 50/125 μm (core/cladding) diameter,
multimode Fiber ribbon cable. 12 fiber 62.5/
125 μm (core/cladding) diameter, multimode
Fiber ribbon cable is also supported.
In the front of the switch, allow at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for the
twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.
In the back of the switch, allow at least 10.2 cm (4 inches) of space for the
power cable and cooling. Attach the power cable to the switch before you
install the switch. Then install the switch without power supplies. Next,
install the power supplies and connect the other end of the power cable
to the AC electrical outlet when you want to power on the switch.
On the sides of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling.
Length Limits
10 kilometers
62.5 μm cable:
• 160 Mhz*km = 2-26 meters
• 200 Mhz*km = 2-33 meters
50 μm cable:
• 400 Mhz*km = 2-66 meters
• 500 Mhz*km = 2-82 meters
• 2000 Mhz*km = 2-300
meters
single-mode cable: 2-10
kilometers
single-mode cable: 2-30
kilometers (40 kilometers, on
an engineered fiber optic link
that meets standards in the
specification).
1-300 meters
