“Fiber-mm” is multi-mode cable, normally used for 10BASE-FL installations, up to 2.0Km. “Fiber-sgl.m” is single-mode cable, used for distant installations, up to 10.0Km.

*The RJ-45 connector is shielded; it accepts RJ-45 eight-pin plugs for unshielded and shielded twisted pair wiring.

**Internal termination switch for BNC, no "T" connector is required.

***MDI-X (Media Dependent Interface - Crossover) switch for RJ-45 up-link,

no crossover cable is required.

***MDI-X (Media Dependent Interface - Crossover) switch for RJ-45 up-link,

no crossover cable is required.

NOTE: As of May, 1998, multiple BPMs (up to six) may be installed in a 700X chassis to provide parallel bridging for the BPM’s attached segments. This will increase network performance in applications where there is significant local traffic on the bridged segments. (see Section 4.2) Any mix of RPM and BPM types may be configured together in a 700X, with a maximum of 6 BPMs and 7 total PMs per unit..
