Using the Ethernet RJ-45 Interfaces
The two RJ-45 interfaces are auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet interfaces. Refer to the figure and table that
follow for pinouts for the RJ-45 Ethernet ports.
Important: To comply with GR-1089 intra-building, lightning-immunity requirements and ensure compliance
with Radiated Emissions Criteria, you must use shielded-twisted pair (STP) copper cable and ensure that it is properly
terminated at both ends.
Important: The 1000Base-TX (RJ-45) management ports of the SPIO are suitable for connection to intra-
building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. These intra-building ports MUST NOT be metallically connected to
interfaces that connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building
interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 5) and require isolation from the exposed
OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces
metallically to OSP wiring.
Important: Be sure to label the interface cables with their destination prior to connecting them to the SPIO card.
This will assure proper reconnection should the card need to be serviced.
