2.1.6 Cabling

10/100/1000Base-T and 100Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX

The 10/100/1000Base-T port comes with Auto-Negotiation capability. It automatically supports 1000Base-T, 100Base-TX
and 10Base-T networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into the 10/100/1000Base-T port, and then
turn on the

Industrial Gigabit Media Converter. The port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps

and 1000Mbps or 2000Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device.

The Industrial Gigabit Media Converter has two SFP interfaces that supports 100/1000 dual speed mode (Optional
Multi-mode / Single-mode 100Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX SFP module) through DIP switch setting.

Cabling

The 10/100/1000Base-T port uses RJ-45 socket -- similar to phone jack -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable
(UTP). The IEEE 802.3 / 802.3u / 802.3ab Fast / Gigabit Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps
100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks can use Cat.3, 4, 5 or 1000Base-T uses

5/5e/6 UTP (see table below). Maximum

distance is 100 meters (328 feet). The 100Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX SFP slot is used as LC connector with optional
SFP module. Please see table below and know more about the cable specifications.

Any Ethernet devices like hubs/ PCs can be connected to the Industrial Gigabit Media Converter by using straight-through
wires. The 10/100/1000Mbps port is auto-MDI/MDI-X and can be used on straight-through or crossover cable.
