Tp-Link T2600G-28TS (TL-SG3424) [21/32] Console port

Gigabit L2 Managed Switch

Connection

appropriate SFP module over the available optical fiber type such as multi-mode fiber or single-mode fiber.

Multi-mode fibers generally have a larger core diameter, and are used for short-distance communication

links and for applications where high power must be transmitted. Single-mode fibers are used for most

communication links longer than 1,050 meters that is 3,440 feet.

T2600G-28TS and T2600G-52TS are compatible with all kinds of gigabit SFP modules including sigle-

mode and multi-mode. The transmission distance and the type of optical fiber are determined by the SFP

module you choose. Here you are recommanded to choose the SFP modules produced by TP-LINK, which

can perfectly enlarge the bandwidth and extend your network.

The following table shows the detailed information of two SFP modules (TL-SM311LS and TL-SM311LM)

produced by TP-LINK, which makes you have a round idea about it so as to give you a reference for

choosing the suitable SFP module.

SFP module. For detailed information, please refer to Chapter 3 Lightning Protection.

4.3 Console Port

CLI (Command Line Interface) enables you to manage the switch, thus you can load

the CLI after connecting the PCs or Terminals to the console port on the switch via the

provided cable.

Connect the Console (RJ-45) port of the device with your computer by the console

cable as the following figure shows.
