2.6 Ethernet Ports
◼RJ-45 Ports
RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): The RJ-45 port is auto-sensing for 10/100Base-Tx or 1000Base-
Tx device connections. Auto MDI/MDIX means that the media converter can connect to another
switch or workstation without changing the straight-through or crossover cabling. See the figures
shown below for the straight-through and crossover cabling schematics.

2.7 Cabling
◼Twisted-pair segments can be connected with an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or Shielded
Twisted Pair (STP) cable. The cable between the equipment and the link partner (media
converter, switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
◼Single-mode connector types have to use 9/125μm single-mode fiber cable, while multi-mode
connector types have to use 62.5/125μm multi-mode fiber cable.
The fiber port of SC type connector can work in multi-mode or single-mode. When connecting
the fiber port to another one, please follow the figure on the following page (Figure 2.7) to
connect accordingly. Wrong connection will cause the port to work abnormally.

Caution: Only use copper conductors, 70/80°C, tighten to 5 in-lbs (0.56 Nm).
The wire gauge for the terminal block should range between 18~20 AWG.
Grounding Note
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference
(EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to
connecting devices. The grounding screw symbol is shown blow in Figure 2.10.
Figure 2.10
Grounding screw
Caution: Using a shielded cable achieves better electromagnetic compatibility.
