C-7

There are two 1000BASE-SX (shortwave gigabit) MDA models (

Figure C-3

):

The 450-1SR MDA is a single MAC MDA with a separate redundant Phy
(backup Phy port). Only one Phy port can be active at any time. If the active
Phy port fails, the redundant Phy port automatically becomes the active port.

The 450-1SX MDA is a single PHY MDA.

Both models conform to the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard and use
shortwave 850 nm fiber optic connectors to connect devices over multimode (550
meter) fiber optic cable.
