1000BASE-SX Ports
These ports are SC-type fiber optic ports that operate at 1 Gbps full
and half duplex. The ports can be connected to other IEEE
802.3z-compliant devices up to 550 m (1805 ft.) away using fiber
optic cable. The switch is fitted with SC ports, but you can also
attach an ST plug to the switch using SMC’s optional SC-ST
Converter (Part Number: 99-012034-091).
GBIC Slots
The two slots on the switch front panel are for installing optional
5V GBIC transceivers. Note that GBIC transceivers are
hot-swappable. You do not need to power off the switch before
installing or removing a transceiver.
