This document describes how to install, verify, and troubleshoot the
following HP ProCurve High-Speed Transceivers:
Use these transceivers for the following network connectivity:
I
Gigabit-SX transceiver—1000 Mbps operation over multimode fiber-
optic cable
I
Gigabit-LX transceiver—1000 Mbps operation over either single-
mode or multimode fiber-optic cable
I
100/1000-T transceiver—1000 or 100 Mbps operation over Category
5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair
(STP) cables
100-FX SC transceiver—100 Mbps operation over multimode fiber-
I
optic cable
