Chapter 6
FE Management Port
The FE management port provides a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection to a
management network. The RJ-45 female connector port pin-outs are shown
in Figure 6-4:
FIGURE 6-4 Management Port
The port accepts a 4- or 8-conductor Category 5 (or better) UTP Ethernet cable
with an RJ-45 male connector. A straight-through cable is required for
connection to a network port. A crossover cable is required for connection to
a management workstation.
For cables that run through plenums or air-handling spaces as described in
NEC (2002) Article 300.22(C), the cable should be suitable under NEC Article
800.50 and marked accordingly for use in plenums and air-handling spaces
with regard to smoke propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP or CMP. Be
sure to install cables in accordance with all applicable local regulations and
practices.
