the network itself.
RJ-45 ports accommodate Category 5 or better
Ethernet cables. SFP ports accommodate
standard SFP modules; wear an ESD-preventive
wrist strap before connecting SFP modules.
These 1 Gbps interface combo ports operate in
"either/or" fashion. This means that attaching to
either a 1 Gbps RJ-45 or SFP port renders the
equivalent partner 1 Gbps port unavailable. See
the examples below.
