3.8 Connecting Ethernet Media
The Magnum CSG14 Series Converter Switch can be connected to two media
types i.e. fiber and copper (RJ-45) types, run at 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T
and 1000BASE-SX/LX/ZX, 100BASE-FX, or 10BASE-FL. CAT 5E cables should be
used when making 1000BASE-T connections. When the ports are used as 10BASE-T ports,
CAT 3 may be used. In either case, the maximum distance for unshielded twisted pair
cabling is 100 meters (328 ft). For fiber port 10BASE-FL, 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-SX
multi-mode, 50/125 or 62.5/125 microns cabling can be used, whereas for single-mode,
9/125 microns cabling should be used. Fiber cabling supports much longer cable distance
and higher bandwidths as compared to copper wiring.
