3.1 Making Copper Port (RJ-45) Connections

The copper ports support the following connection types and distances:

Network Cables

10BASE-T: 2-pair UTP Cat. 3,4,5 , EIA/TIA-568B 100-ohm

100BASE-TX: 2-pair / 4-pair UTP Cat. 5, EIA/TIA-568B 100-ohm

Link distance: Up to 100 meters

Auto MDI/MDI-X Function

This function allows the port to auto-detect the twisted-pair signals and adapts itself to form a valid MDI to MDI-X connection with the remote connected device automatically. No matter a straight through cable or crossover cable connected, the ports can sense the receiving pair automatically and configure self to match the rule for MDI to MDI-X connection. It simplifies the cable installation by using only straight-through cables.

Auto-negotiation Function

The ports are featured with auto-negotiation function and full capability to support connection to any Ethernet devices. The port performs a negotiation process for the speed and duplex configuration with the connected device automatically when each time a link is being established. If the connected device is also auto-negotiation capable, both devices will come out the best configuration after negotiation process. If the connected device is incapable in auto-negotiation, the switch will sense the speed and use half duplex for the connection.

3.2 Making Fiber Connections

The fiber ports operate on 100Mbps and full duplex. For different fiber connections, several alternative models can be selected for different fiber connections. The following figure illustrates a connection example between two SC fiber ports:

A variety of fiber options and the associated optical specifications are provided as listed in Appendix-1.

Network Cables

Multimode (MMF) - 50/125, 62.5/125

Single mode (SMF) - 9/125
