2. IQGBE Modules
2.1 Module Description
The IQGBE40/80 is a range of Gigabit Fiber Media Converter modules with either a 4 or 8
port Ethernet switch occupying either a single or double slot in an IQ modular frame. The
RJ45 copper ports are triple speed auto negotiating enabling connectivity to 10, 100 or
1000Base Ethernet devices using standard CAT5 or better cable assemblies. The fiber
interface utilizes an SFP (Small Form factor Pluggable) fiber module receptacle cage
compliant with the SFP MSA (Multi Source Agreement). It accepts a single 1000Base SFP
Fiber Transceiver with 1310nm singlemode laser transmitter and medium sensitivity receiver.
The IQGBE40/80 may be used for direct links to other fiber enabled Ethernet devices or used
as part of a system using WDM or CWDM techniques to transport multiple serial digital data
streams over a single optical cable.
