1.3.2 FEPIMs

The front panel connections are standard Cabletron FEPIMs.
Currently, the 7H02-06 supports the following two FEPIMs:
• FE-100TX (see Figure 1-2). The FE-100TX allows Fast Ethernet
connectivity using Category 5 Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling with
one RJ45 connector.

Figure 1-2. FE-100TX PIM.

• FE-100FX (see Figure 1-3). The FE-100FX allows Fast Ethernet
connectivity using multi-mode fiber optic cabling with SC
connector.

Refer to Appendix A of this manual for the specifications for these
FEPIMs.

1.3.3 Connectivity

The 7H02-06 Module has one backplane connection and five front
panel RJ45 connections and one FEPIM connection. The backplane
connection provides power to the 7H02-06 Module and a channel
for communication with the 7X00 SmartSwitch Control Module.
The six front panel ports provide Category 5 Twisted Pair (UTP)
and/or multimode fiber optic connectivity.
