Installation Guide for the Model FS518 Fast Ethernet Switch 1000BASE-SX Fiber Ports The Model FS518 switch has two1000BASE-SX fiber ports. These ports operate at 1000 Mbps full-duplex mode exclusively and provide a standard duplex SC connector for 62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm multimode fiber optic cable. Figure 2-3 shows a fiber optic cable connection to a duplex SC connector. The Link LED to the right of the 1000BASE-SX fiber port indicates whether or not proper signaling is established with the remote port. For further information about fiber optic cables and connectors, refer to Appendix B, "Connector Pin Assignments," and Appendix C, "Cabling Guidelines." Tx Rx Figure 2-3. 8806FB 1000BASE-SX Fiber Connection Warning: Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that might injure your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a light source. Normal/Uplink Push Button The Normal/Uplink push button on the front panel of the switch, as illustrated in Figure 2-1, allows you to select uplink (MDI) or normal (MDI-X) wiring for port 16 on the Model FS518 switch. This port is configured for normal wiring to connect to a PC when the push button is in the out position. When the push button is pressed in, this port is configured for uplink wiring to connect to another switch or to a hub, using a straight-through twisted pair cable. Physical Description 2-3
