Optional Fiber Modules
This section introduces the optional 100Base-FX Modules which can be installed on the front
panel of the MIL-S2400 and MIL-S1600 Switches. Each optional 100Base-FX Module has a one-
port fiber connector.
The 100Base-FX Modules are designed to extend the distance between switch and other devices.
The maximum distance
connected by optical fiber is up
to 2 Km ( multi-mode fiber ) or
60 Km ( single-mode fiber ).

Module
You can regard this fiber port
as backbone in the networking
infrastructure. There are four types of fiber port connectors available including ST, SC, MT-RJ,
VF-45 multi-mode and SC and MT-RJ single-mode connectors. The following is the introduction
about them.
Front Panel
The Front Panels of the 100Base-FX Modules consist of four LED-indicators, two thumbscrews,
DIP-switch, and one fiber port. An example of each of the Front Panels of the 100Base-FX
Modules are illustrated. Model number and serial number can be found on a label on the
underside of the module.
