When determining where to place the switch, be sure to observe these
requirements:
For copper Ethernet ports, including 10/100 ports and 1000BASE-T SFP
•
module ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices can be up
to 328 feet (100 meters).
Table 3-1
lists the cable specifications for 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX,
•
and 1000BASE-ZX fiber-optic SFP module connections. Each port must
match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and for
reliable communications, the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable
length.
