Gigabit Ethernet 1000BaseTX Cabling
The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard defines 1000 Mbps Ethernet
communications over distances of up to 100 meters using all 4 pairs in
category 5 (or higher) balanced unshielded twisted-pair cabling. For
wiring guidelines, system designers and integrators should refer to the
Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TIA/EIA-568-A wiring
standard that characterizes minimum cabling performance specifications
required for proper Gigabit Ethernet operation. To ensure reliable,
error-free data communication, new and pre-existing communication
paths should be verified for TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
• Data cable lengths should be as short as possible, ideally limited to 3
m (10 ft) in length. Copper data cables should not be used for
inter-building communications.
• Power and data cables should not be run in parallel for long distances,
and should be installed in separate conduits. Power and data cables
should intersect at 90° angles when necessary to reduce inductive
coupling.
• Optionally, shielded/screened cabling can be used. The cable shield
should be grounded at one single point to avoid the generation of
ground loops.
USB Console Connection
The PT-7528 series has one USB console port (type B connector), located
on the top panel. Use the USB cable (provided in the product package) to
connect the PT-7528’s console port to your PC’s USB port and install the
USB driver (available in the software CD) on your PC. You may then use
a console terminal program, such as Moxa PComm Terminal Emulator, to
access the PT-7528’s console configuration utility.

USB Storage Connection
The PT-7528 series has one USB storage port (type A connector) on the
front panel. Use Moxa’s ABC-02-USB-T automatic backup configurator to
connect the PT-7528’s USB storage port for configuration backup,
firmware upgrade, or system log file backup.
