Installing and Configuring the Module

2.2.3Connecting the Cable

Twisted Pair

If you are using twisted pair cable, Modicon recommends Category 5, which is

 

rated to 100 Mbps. Use RJ-45 connectors. Slip the connector into the port. It should

 

snap into place.

Fiber Optic

Use 62.5/125 fiber optic cable with ST-style connectors. Modicon sells a 3 m cable

 

with connectors (990 XCA 656 09).

Remove the protective plastic coverings from the cable ports and the tips of the cable. Snap one of the fiber cable clasps onto the cable, carefully pressing the cable through the slot so that the wider end of the clasp is closest to the boot.
