Chapter 2: Network Requirements

2.3100BASE-TX NETWORK

The six ﬁxed ports of the 6H122-08, and an FE-100TX installed in ports 7 or 8, provide an RJ45 connection that supports Category 5 UTP cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet network requirements for the devices to operate at 100 Mbps. Refer to the Cabletron Systems Cabling Guide for details.

NOTE

The 6H122-08 is capable of operating at either 10 or 100 Mbps. The 6H122-08 can automatically sense the speed of the other device and adjusts its speed accordingly.

2.4100BASE-FX FIBER OPTIC NETWORK

Ports 7 and 8 of the 6H122-08 support the Cabletron Systems FE-100FX and FE-100F3 ﬁber optic interface modules. The device at the other end of the ﬁber optic segment must meet the 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet network requirements to operate at 100 Mbps. Refer to the Cabletron Systems Cabling Guide for details.

Multimode Mode Fiber Optic Cable Length

The maximum multimode ﬁber optic cable length of a 100BASE-FX segment is covered in the Cabletron Systems Cabling Guide.

Single Mode Fiber Cable Lengths

The maximum single mode ﬁber optic length of a 100BASE-FX segment may be no more than 5 km between Data Terminal Equipment (DTE to DTE) in half duplex mode or 20 km (DTE to DTE) in full duplex mode.
