E-TBT-MC04

Cable Specifications

The physical characteristics of the media cable must meet or exceed IEEE 802.3 specifications.

Copper cables

Category 3: (minimum requirement)
Gauge	24 to 22 AWG
Attenuation	11.5 dB/100m @ 5-10 MHz
Maximum cable distance:	100 m
Category 5: (recommended)
Gauge	24 to 22 AWG
Attenuation	22.0 dB/100m @ 100 MHz
Maximum cable distance:	100 m

•Straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cable may be used.

•Shielded (STP) or unshielded (UTP) twisted-pair cable may be used.

•Pins 1&2 and 3&6 are the two active pairs in an Ethernet network .

•RJ-45 Pin-out: Pin 1 = TD+, Pin 2 = TD-, Pin 3 = RD+, Pin 6 = RD-

•Use only dedicated wire pairs for the active pins:

(e.g., blue/white & white/blue, orange/white & white/orange, etc.)

•Do not use flat or silver satin wire.

Troubleshooting

If the transceiver fails, determine the answer to the following questions:

1.Is the status LED flashing?

NO

•Verify that the AUI device is turned ON.

•Verify that the AUI cable from the transceiver to the AUI device port is installed properly.

•Contact Tech Support: 1-800-260-1312, Int’l: 00-1-952-941-7600.

YES

•Go to step 2.

2.Is the RX LED flashing (receiving data)?

NO

•Is the LED ON Solid?

•Check twisted pair cable for proper connection

•Contact Tech Support: 1-800-260-1312, Int’l: 00-1-952-941-7600.

Yes

Go to step 3.

3.Is the TX LED ON?

NO

•Check twisted pair cable for proper connection.

•Is the LED flashing (transmitting data)?

•Restart the hardware to force re-initialization.

•Contact Tech Support: 1-800-260-1312, Int’l: 00-1-952-941-7600.
