100BASE-TX Network

100BASE-TX Network

Fixed front panel ports of the 4H4282‐49, 4H4283‐49, 4H4203‐72, and 4H4202‐72 provide a connection that supports Category 5 UTP cabling. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3‐2002 100BASE‐TX Fast Ethernet network requirements for the devices to operate at 100 Mbps. Refer to the Cabling Guide for details.

Note: The fixed ports of the module support Category 5 UTP cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms for 100 Mbps operation.

The module is capable of operating at either 10 or 100 Mbps. The module automatically senses the speed of the other device and adjusts its speed accordingly.

100BASE-FX Fiber-Optic Network

The 4H4284‐49 DFE‐Gold module provides 48 ports that support 100 Mbps multimode fiber‐optic connectivity through 48 fixed front‐panel MT‐RJ connectors, which support 100BASE‐FX fiber‐optic cabling. The device at the other end of the fiber‐optic segment must meet 100BASE‐FX Fast Ethernet network requirements for the devices to operate at 100 Mbps. IEEE 802.3u 100BASE‐FX characteristics for Multimode Fiber is a segment length of 412 meters (switched port) in half duplex, 2 kilometers (switched port) in full duplex. This distance will be considerably shorter from a repeater port. Make sure to check your network diameter specifications. Refer to the Cabling Guide for details.
