Table 2-6 specifies the fiber types, bandwidth requirements, and length

constraints for the Gigabit Ethernet long-wavelength fiber interface on the
fiber optic media module.

10Base-T/100Base-TX Ports

The 10Base-T/100Base-TX ports use RJ-45 connectors. Figure 2-6

shows an RJ-45 connector being inserted into a port.

The ports on the base unit are wired with the MDI-X function
implemented. These ports interface to UTP cabling for connection to

10Base-T or 100Base-TX network segments or end-stations. These UTP

connections meet the requirements of ISO 8877, specified by 10Base-T,
Section 14 of the IEEE 802.3 specification. Workstations or servers can

be connected to these ports using standard straight-through wired cables.

For connections to other switches or hubs, use an MDI port on the other
device. If an MDI port is not available, a crossover cable may be

necessary (refer to “MDI/MDI-X Crossover Cable Wiring” in Appendix A).

See Table A-2, “10Base-T/100Base-TX Pinouts,” for 10Base-T/
100Base-TX connector pin assignments.
