2 Gigabit Copper/SFP (Mini-GBIC) combo port:
The Industrial switch has two auto-detected Giga port
—UTP/STP/Fiber
combo ports. The Gigabit Copper (10/100/1000T) ports should use
Category 5e or above UTP/STP cable for the connection up to 1000Mbps.
The SFP slots supporting dual mode can switch the connection speed
between 100 and 1000Mbps. They are for connecting to the network
segment with single or multi-mode fiber. You can choose the appropriate
mini-GBIC module to plug into the slots. You can use proper multi-mode or
single-mode fiber according to the used SFP module. With fiber optic, it
transmits speed up to 1000 Mbps and you can prevent noise interference
from the system and transmission distance up to 110 km, depending on the
mini-GBIC module.
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used
in optical communications for both telecommunication and data
communications applications.
Note
The SFP/Copper Combo port can be used at one time either. The
SFP port has the higher priority than copper port; if you insert the
1000M SFP transceiver into the SFP port which is connected to
the remote device, the connection of the accompanying copper
port will link down.
If you insert the 100M SFP transceiver into the SFP port even
without a fiber connection to the remote, the connection of the
accompanying copper port will link down immediately.
