MULTILINK ML1200 MANAGED FIELD SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
4–7
Multilink ML1200 Managed Switch, the copper port supports the standard distance 100m
on each port and the fiber port supports fiber optic cable distances up the IEEE-standard
100Mbps distance limits, i.e., typically 2km at full-duplex and 412m at half-duplex.
Each port has an Activity (ACT) LED indicating packets being received. A Link (LK) LED
indicates proper connectivity with the remote device when lit, and FDX/HDX LED to
indicate full-duplex mode when lit (half-duplex when off).
4.2.2.2 C7 Module, 2@10Mb multi-mode FX-ST “twist lock” Module
The C7 Module is a two port Fiber module that looks similar to the 100MbFiber module with
the exception of 10Mb speed at the ST fiber module. The ST-connector functions as a fiber
optic transceiver to support 10BASE-FX network segments. When installed in a Multilink
ML1200 Managed Switch, the fiber port supports fiber optic cable distances up the IEEE-
standard 10Mbps distance limits, i.e., typically 2km at full-duplex and half-duplex.
Each port has an Activity (ACT) LED indicating packets being received, a Link (LK) LED that
indicates proper connectivity with the remote device when lit, and an FDX/HDX LED to
indicate full-duplex mode when lit (or half-duplex when off).
4.2.2.3 C9 Module, 2@100Mb multi-mode FX-SC “snap-in” Fiber connector
The C9 Module is two port module equipped with 2 multi-mode 100Mbps fiber optic
transceivers. This is similar to the C8 Module. It has the same LEDs indicating port activity
(ACT), Link (LK), and FDX / HDX and 10/100 operation, as well as the same face-plate
lettering. The difference is that the C9 Module is equipped with SC-type "snap-in" fiber port
connector instead of an ST-type.
