Cables and Adapters

SFP Module Cables

Each port must match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length. Copper 1000BASE-T SFP module transceivers use standard four twisted-pair, Category 5 cable at lengths up to 328 feet (100 meters).

1.Modal bandwidth applies only to multimode fiber.

2.A mode-field diameter/cladding diameter = 9 micrometers/125 micrometers.

3.A mode-conditioning patch cord is required. Using an ordinary patch cord with MMF, or 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules and a short link distance can cause transceiver saturation, and an elevated bit error rate (BER). When using the LX/LH SFP module with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must also install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP module and the MMF cable on both the sending and receiving ends of the link. The mode-conditioning patch cord is required for link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m).

4.1000BASE-ZX SFP modules can send data up to 62 miles (100 km) by using dispersion-shifted SMF or low-attenuation SMF; the distance depends on the fiber quality, the number of splices, and the connectors.

Console Port Adapter Pinouts

The RS-232 console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. Use an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable to connect the switch console port to a console PC. You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter to connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order the kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) from Cisco.
