Connecting UTP Cables

TheRJ45copperconnectiontoanMGBIC‐02isa10/100/1000Mbpsconnectionwith

internalcrossovers.Whenconnectingaworkstationtooneoftheseports,useastraight‐

throughcable.Whenconnectingnetworkingdevicestotheseports,suchasabridge,

repeater,orrouter,useacrossovercable.

pairsegmentstotheswitch,refertoFigure 3‐14andproceedas

follows:

1. Ensurethatthedevicetobeconnectedattheotherendofthesegmentis

powered ON.

2. ConnectthetwistedpairsegmenttotheswitchbyinsertingtheRJ45connectoronthe

twistedpairsegmentintothedesiredRJ45port

(forexample,Port2).

Note: The MGBIC-02RJ45 ports support Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)

cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. Where new cabling is being

installed, it is recommended that Catagory 5e be installed. Category 3 cable may be used

if the connection is going to be used only for 10 Mbps.
