24-port 100/1000 hybrid fiber interface module
The 100/1000 hybrid fiber module has 24 ports with connectors for mini-GBIC transceivers (also called
Small Form Factor Pluggable or SFP) Multisource Agreement (MSA)-compliant transceivers. The ports
support 100 and 1000 fiber mini-GBICs.

The front panel contains the following control features:
• 24 Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports
• 24 LEDs
The ports on the 24-port 100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet hybrid fiber module operate at a fixed speed of 100
or 1000 Mbps (they do not support 10 Mbps connections), and use auto-negotiation to automatically
configure the highest performance mode with the connected device.
The mini-GBIC slots support the 100Base and 1000Base fiber cabling listed in Network interfaces on
page 38.
Support for 100Base-FX on the 100/1000 interface module
The 24-port 100/1000 fiber interface module supports the following types of SFPs for 100Base-FX:
• Multimode SFP - maximum distance is 2 kilometers
• Bidirectional single mode SFP - maximum distance is 10 kilometers
• Long Reach (LR) - maximum distance is 40 kilometers
• Intermediate Reach (IR) - maximum distance is 15 kilometers
To enable support for 100BaseFX, you must enter the CLI command 100-fx at the interface level of the
CLI. For CLI command details, refer to the section "Enabling and Disabling Support for 100BaseFX" in
the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.
