Cabling

Cajun P330 modules include the following types of ports (according to the speed and standard they support): 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 100Base-FX, 1000Base-SX and 1000Base-LX.

Note: To interconnect Cajun P330 switches with copper wire, crossed cables are required.

The maximum UTP cable length connected to a 10/100 Mbps port operating as 10Base-T, is 100 m (328 ft.).

A UTP Category 5 cable must be connected to any 100Base-TX port, via an RJ45 connector. The maximum UTP cable length connected to a 100Base-TX port, or a 10/100 Mbps port operating as 100Base-TX, is 100 m (328 ft.).

A fiberoptic cable must be connected to any 100Base-FX port, via a pair of SC connectors. The maximum fiber cable length connected to a 100Base-FX port is 412 m (1,352 ft) when operating in half duplex, and 2 km (6,562 ft) when operating in full duplex.
