Technical Specifications
1000BASE-LH70, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX SFP Transceivers
The 1000BASE-LH70 SFP Transceiver supports a direct connection to single-mode fiber-optic cable,
the 1000BASE-SX SFP Transceiver supports a direct connection to multi-mode fiber-optic cable
and the 1000BASE-LX SFP Transceiver supports a direct connection to both. Table 1 shows the
ranges for each connection.
Table 2 shows the optical characteristics for the transmitter and receiver for each Transceiver.
CAUTION: If using cable lengths shorter than 25 km with the 1000BASE-LH70 SFP Transceiver, you
must ensure that a single-mode fiber attenuator is used to avoid signal saturation.
1000BASE-T SFP Transceiver
The 1000BASE-T SFP Transceiver port uses Category 5 copper cabling with RJ-45 connectors, and
supports segment lengths of up to 100 m (328 ft), as specified in the Gigabit Ethernet standard
