24 × 10/100 Mbps RJ45 connector interfaces on the DMIM-24FSW module
2 × 10/100/1000 Mbps (gigabit) RJ45 connector electrical interfaces on the
DMIM-24FSW module
2 × SFP fiber interfaces (Fiber interfaces and gigabit electrical interfaces share
the MAC layer) on the DMIM-24FSW module
The interface cards support:
100 meters (328.1 ft.) of transmission distance over the category-5 twisted-pair
cable
100 meters (328.1 ft.) of transmission distance between any interfaces over the
category-5 twisted-pair cable
Operation at 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps, autosensing
Full duplex and half-duplex, with the former in common use
24FSW provides two Combo interfaces as shown in Table 86. By default, the
electrical interfaces take effect.
Interface Attributes The interface attributes of the MIM-16FSW/MIM-16FSW-PoE
/DMIM-24FSW/DMIM-24FSW-PoE are given in the following table:

MDI stands for Media Dependent Interface of the Ethernet. Normally, the
interfaces on the network cards belong to this type. MDIX stands for Cross Media
Dependent Interface, which is usually adopted on hubs or LAN switches.
Interface LEDs MIM-16FSW/MIM-16FSW-PoE panel is shown in the following figure:
