48 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE SWITCH Approved 100BASE-X SFP Transceivers The following list of approved 100Mbps SFP transceivers is correct at the time of publication. ■ 3CSFP81 100BASE-FX ■ 3CSFP82 100BASE-LX10 ■ 3CSFP85 100BASE-BX10-D ■ 3CSFP86 100BASE-BX10-U SFP transceivers must be matched with the correct cable type as follows: ■ 100BASE-FX Use this transceiver to connect 100Mbps SFP ports on the switch directly to a multi-mode fiber-optic cable. ■ 100BASE-LX10 Use this transceiver to connect 100Mbps SFP ports on the switch directly to a a single-mode fiber-optic cable. ■ 100BASE-BX10-D Use this transceiver to connect 100Mbps SFP ports on the switch directly to a single strand of a single-mode fiber-optic cable on the opposite end of a link that is connected to a 100BASE-BX10-U transceiver. ■ 100BASE-BX10-U Use this transceiver to connect 100Mbps SFP ports on the switch directly to a single strand of a single-mode fiber-optic cable on the opposite end of a link that is connected to a 100BASE-BX10-D transceiver. If the SFP transceiver is faulty, it will not operate within the switch. See "Solving Hardware Problems" on page 83. 3Com recommends that you only use Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet SFPs supplied by 3Com. If the SFP transceiver is invalid it will not be recognized by the switch.
