The gigabit interface connector (GBIC) port on the rear panel of the
Hub 1000 SX chassis accepts an optional 3Com GBIC module that

By inserting the appropriate GBIC module in the hub’s rear-panel uplink
port, you can use various types of cabling to connect the hub to LAN
devices. For example, you can use the 1000BASE-LX module to reach
much greater distances than is possible with 1000BASE-SX connections.
