Verifying Switch Operation
When the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.43 miles (25 km), you should insert a 5-decibel (dB) 
or 10-dB inline optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 
1000BASE-ZX SFP module at each end of the link. 
Cisco Ethernet Switches are equipped with cooling mechanisms, such as fans and blowers.
