Connecting the Cables
P332G-ML modules include the following types of ports (according to the speed
and standard they support): 1000Base-SX/LX.
To connect the cables:
1 Insert an SFP GBIC (Small Form Factor Plugable Gigabit Interface Converter)
transceiver (not supplied) to the port housing. For a list of approved SFP GBIC
transceivers, see www.avayanetwork.com. For fiberoptic cable properties, see
Table 4.3.
Note: GBICs are 3.3V.
2 Connect the Ethernet fiberoptic cable (not supplied) to the GBIC transceiver on
the front panel of the Avaya P332G-ML. You can use LC or MT-RJ fiberoptic
cables depending on the GBIC transceiver you are using.
3 Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port of the PC, server, router,
workstation, switch, or hub.
4 Check that the appropriate link (LNK) LED lights up.
Appropriate cables are available from your local supplier.
Table 4.3 displays the different types of SFP GBIC interfaces, their fiber type,
diameter, modal bandwidth, wavelengths, minimum and maximum distance.
