Selecting a Crossover/Pass-Through Connection

Once a FiberLinX is installed, you can select a crossover workstation or

pass-through repeater/hub connection for the twisted pair data port.

FiberLinX’s twisted pair data port has one RJ-45 connector for a single

shielded or unshielded twisted pair link segment and features a push-button

switch, located next to the port, for selecting the type of connection.

To select a pass-through connection on FiberLinX, simply press the push-

button IN. A crossover connection is selected when the push-button is OUT.

NOTE: If uncertain whether a crossover or pass-through connection is

needed, set the switch to the position that makes the TP data port link LED
glow.
