Note
Never pull out the module without pulling the lever or
the push bolts on the module. Directly pulling out the
module with effort could damage the module and SFP+
module slot of the Industrial Media Converter.
100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T
The 100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T port comes with auto-
negotiation capability. It automatically supports 100BASE-TX,
1000BASE-T, 2500BASE-T, 5000 BASE-T and 10000 BASE-T
networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into
the 100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T port, and then turn on
the Industrial Media Converter. The port will automatically run at
100Mbps, 1000Mbps, 2500Mbps or 5000Mbps and 10000Mbps after the
negotiation with the connected device.
Connecting the UTP Cable
The 100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T port uses RJ45 socket
-- similar to phone jack -- for connection of unshielded twisted-
pair cable (UTP). The 802.3u/802.3ab/802.3bz/802.3ae Ethernet
standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps 100BASE-TX.
1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T uses Cat5e/6/6A/7 UTP (see table
below). Maximum distance is 100 meters (328 feet).
Standard Transfer Speed Cable requirement 100M
10GBASE-T 10000Mbit/s Cat 6A/7
5GBASE-T 5000Mbit/s Cat 6/6A/7
2.5GBASE-T 2500Mbit/s Cat 5e/6/6A/7
1000BASET 1000Mbit/s Cat 5e/6/6A/7
100BASE-TX 100Mbit/s Cat 5/5e/6/6A/7
Note
Be sure the connected network devices support MDI/
MDI-X. If it does not support, then use the crossover
Category 5e cable.
