2.210/100BASE-TX Ports Definition

2.2.1Data Input Ports

The Midspan has 48 10/100Base-TX data input ports, configured in a non- crossover manner (straight-wired). These ports located on the PoE’s rear panel of front box, are designed to carry Ethernet data only (Tx/Rx) over the standard 2-wire pairs (pins 1/2 and 3/6) and are typically connected to existing Etherner switch.

2.2.2Data & Power Output Ports

The Midspan has 48 Data & Power output ports, located on the front panel (Figure 2-1). These ports are configured in a non-crossover manner (straight- wired) and are designed to carry Ethernet data over the standard 2-wire pairs (pins 1/2 and 3/6) and DC power over the spare pairs (pins 4/5 and 7/8). Each output port corresponds to an opposite input port located on the rear panel.

The Midspan is not a repeater. As such, the maximum distance from the Ethernet switch to PDs should not exceed 100 meters (328 ft). In accordance with the IEEE 802.3 standard, the Power over Ethernet Midspan is guaranteed to work up to this distance.
