 100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T
The RJ-45 copper port comes with auto-negotiation capability. They automatically support 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T,
2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T and 10GBASE-T networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into the copper
port, and then turn on the Industrial 10G Managed PoE Media Converter. The port will automatically run at 100Mbps,
1000Mbps, 2500Mbps, 5000Mbps or 10Gbps after negotiating with the connected device.
 100/1000/2500/10000BASE-X
The Industrial 10G Managed PoE Media Converter has 1 or 2 SFP+ interfaces that support 100/1000/2500/10000Mbps
dual speed mode.
 Cabling
The 100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T port uses an RJ45 socket -- similar to phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded
twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard mandates the use of 5/5e/6 UTP for 1000BASE-T
(refer to the table below). Maximum distance is 100 meters (328 feet). The 100/1000/2500/10000BASE-X SFP+ slot uses
an LC connector with optional SFP module. Please see table below and know more about the cable specifications.

Any Ethernet devices like hubs and PCs can connect to the Industrial 10G Managed PoE Media Converter by using
straight-through wires. The 100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T ports are auto-MDI/MDI-X and can be used on
straight-through or crossover cable.
