Actual performance of an SLC 5/05 processor varies according to:
• size of Ethernet messages
• frequency of Ethernet messages
• network loading
• the implementation of and performance of your processor

The SLC 5/05 Ethernet connector conforms to ISO/IEC 8802–3 STD
802.3 and utilizes 10Base-T media. Connections are made directly
from the SLC 5/05 to an Ethernet hub. The network setup is simple
and cost effective. Typical network topology is pictured below.

Important: The SLC 5/05 processor contains a 10Base-T, RJ45
Ethernet connector which connects to standard Ethernet
hubs via 8-wire twisted pair straight-through cable. To
access other Ethernet mediums, use 10Base-T media
converters or Ethernet hubs that can be connected
together via fiber, thin-wire, or thick-wire coaxial
cables, or any other physical media commercially
available with Ethernet hubs.
