Mating Connector
Dual RJ-45 sockets accept standard Ethernet cables. The IN port connects to a master, or to the
OUT port of a device that is ‘upstream’ between the Xenus Plus and the master. The OUT port
connects to ‘downstream’ nodes. If Xenus Plus is the last node on a network, only the IN port is
used. No terminator is required on the OUT port.
