2.11.2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports Cabling Procedures
Cabling requirements for the Gigabit Ethernet modules depend on
the type of GBIC interface that has been installed. Use the following
guidelines to determine the cabling requirements for your GBIC:
•
1000BaseSX GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber connectors;
62.5-micron multimode fiber (MMF) media up to 275 meters
(902 feet) long, or 50-micron MMF media up to 550 meters
(1805 feet) long
•
1000BaseLX GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber connectors;
10-micron single mode fiber media up to 5 kilometers
(16,405 feet) long
•
1000BaseLX Long Haul GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber
connectors; 10-micron single mode fiber media up to 100
kilometers (328,100 feet) long
•
1000BaseT: Category 5 or better Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP) cable to a distance of 100 meters (328.1 feet)
2.12 Using the Stacking Feature
The 3524 v.1.1 offers a stacking feature that allows the user to
stack up to eight units, all sharing one IP address of the master
switch (unit #1). This is an efficient and cost-effective way to add
ports as needed. The following lists the characteristics of stacking
that the user needs to be aware of:
• Uses any physical media supported by IC 3524: copper or
fiber, Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet (see the stacking
kit {sold separately} shown below); or a special, cost-
effective Stacking Kit (available Q2-02, not shown)
