The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The 10/100 Ethernet ports on the switches use RJ-45 connectors. 10/100 Port Pinouts shows the pinouts.
Note: For the two models of IE 1000 switch that support PoE, connector pins 4 and 5 supply +48 VDC and pins 7 and 8 are the DC voltage return lines.
Fiber-Optic SFP Module LC Connector shows a MT-RJ style connector that is used with the SFP Module slots. It is a fiber-optic cable connector.

Warning: Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
Each port must match the wave-length specifications on each end of the cable, and for reliable communications, the cable must not exceed the allowable length.
■The maximum operating temperature of the switch varies depending on the type of SFP module that you use.
■Modal bandwidth applies only to multimode fiber.
■A mode-field diameter/cladding diameter = 9 micrometers/125 micrometers.
■A mode-conditioning patch cord is required when using 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules, MMF, and a short link distance. Using an ordinary patch cord can cause transceiver saturation, resulting in 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).
■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.
■When the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.43 miles (25 km), insert a 5-decibel (dB) or 10-dB inline optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX SFP module.
