Chapter 1 Introduction The 9E428-12/36 and 9E429-12/36 (Figure 1-1) are switching modules that provide either 12 or 36 ports, depending on the module. The 9E428-12/36 provide Ethernet fiber-optic 10Base-FL connectivity via multimode ST (straight through) connectors, while the 9E429-12/36 modules use single mode ST connectors. There are two ST connectors for each port, one for transmit and one for receive. Each module also provides an additional port that connects directly to the Inter
