8 Network Cabling
The MRTe interfaces with the subscriber's network through the RJ-45 cable.
Note: Use CAT-5e shielded cable only.
8.1 Connecting to Network
The MRTe provides two RJ-45 (10/100/1000BaseT) ports for interfacing with the subscriber's
network.
The ports of the MRTe support Auto Negotiation, allowing automatic configuration for the highest
possible speed link, and Full Duplex or Half Duplex mode. Therefore, the speed of the connected
device (e.g. PC) determines the speed at which packets are transmitted through the specific port.
In addition, the MRTe ports support MDI/MDI-X automatic crossover, allowing connection to
straight-through or crossover CAT-5e cables. Therefore, these ports can be connected to either a
hub (i.e. using crossover cables) or a PC (i.e. using straight-through cables).
The cable setup for MRTe connectivity is as follows:
¾ Cable: Straight-through (e.g. when connecting to PC) or crossover (i.e. when connecting
to a hub) CAT 5e Ethernet cable
¾ Connectors: 8-pin RJ-45 at both ends
