Gigabit Ethernet Interface Modules 53Gigabit EthernetInterface Modules3Com offers six Gigabit Ethernet modules to suit different cabling infrastructuresand density requirements. This section outlines the physical attributes of each module.1000BASE-SXGigabit EthernetModules Model Number — 3C16825 (1 SC-type port), 3C16842 (2 MT-RJ ports) Size — Occupies one slot in the Switch 4005 chassis Functionality — Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching Physical features: Release button and LED are used to remove the module. 1000BASE-SX ports provide a 1000 Mbps, full duplex connection. Module and Port LEDs — See Table 13 on page 56 for definitions. Front faceplate — See Figure 20 on page 55 for details. Cabling requirements: 50 micron Multimode fiber; maximum segment length is 500 m (1640 ft). 62.5 micron Multimode fiber; maximum segment Length is 220 m (722 ft).1000BASE-TGigabit EthernetModules Model Number — 3C16827 (1 port), 3C16841 (2 ports) Size — Occupies one slot in the Switch 4005 chassis Functionality — Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching Physical features: Release button and LED are used to remove the module. 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports provide auto-negotiation for connection speed(10/100/1000), duplex mode, and flow control. Module and Port LEDs — See Table 13 on page 56 for definitions. Front faceplate — See Figure 20 on page 55 for details. Cabling requirements: Category 5 UTP or STP works for 1000BASE-T as long as all four pairs areconnected. For more reliable performance, we recommend using Category5E as noted in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A-5 specification. Maximum segment length: 100 m (328 ft) for half duplex or full duplex. All RJ-45 ports on the module have automatic MDI/MDI-X detection at allspeeds.
