Managed Layer 3 Switches FSM7326P, GSM7312, and GSM7324 Hardware Installation Guide Connecting Equipment to the Switch You can connect devices, an SPF Gigabit Ethernet module, and a console to the switch. RJ-45 Ports The switch uses Auto Uplink technology, which allows you to attach devices using either straight-through or crossover cables. Use a Category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector. Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached device to 328 feet (100 meters). Gigabit Module Bay You can install an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module in the gigabit module bays. SFP modules are sold separately. Four ports on the switch can be used for either STP (RJ-45) or SFP (fiber) cable. However, both port types cannot be used at the same time. The switch selects the first connected interface. If both connectors are plugged, the SFP interface operates normally and disables the copper interface. The SFP bay accommodates a standard SFP module with an LC connector that is compatible with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard. To install an SFP module: 1. Insert the module into the SFP module bay. Press firmly to ensure that the module seats into the connector. SFP module bays Figure 3-2 Hardware Installation 3-7 v1.0, March 2006
