one hub. There are two possible connection methods for hubs: Cascade and
stacked.
Ethernet Connectors The following standards and specifications apply to the connectors for the
Ethernet twisted-pair cable.
• Electrical specifications: Conforming to IEEE802.3 standards
• Connector structure: RJ45 8-pin Modular Connector
(conforming to ISO8877)
Connecting the Cable
!Caution Turn OFF the PLC’s power supply before connection or disconnecting twisted-
pair cable.
!Caution Allow enough space for the bending radius of the twisted-pair cable.
