Connecting copper cables

Copper cable To connect the copper cable to the Industrial Switch and other equipment, do the following: installation

Step

Action

1.Locate or build 10Base-T or 100Base-TX copper cables with male, RJ-45 connectors installed at both ends.

2.Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the Industrial Switch. See Figure 13 below.

3.Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the other device (switch, workstation, PLC, etc.).

4.Check the copper port LED on the Industrial Switch to verify the connection— LNK/ACT LED should be lit.

Figure 13: Copper Cable Installation

Copper cable Either a straight-through or cross-over cable may be used. See Figure 14. configuration

Figure 14: Straight-Through and Crossover Cables

Note: The AutoCrossTM feature determines the characteristics of the cable connection and automatically configures the unit to link up, regardless of the cable configuration, allowing either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X) cables to be used. (Requires no operator intervention.). See Advanced Features section for more information.
