Eclipse Edge User Manual
DAC ES Module
Industry standard Ethernet RJ-45 to RJ-45 cables are used for the DAC ES user
ports.
The DAC ES allows the cable connection type to be auto-detected, or specified for a
straight (Mdi) or crossover (MdiX) cable. With Auto, the DAC ES senses and sets the
port connection cable type to Mdi or Mdix. The fixed options can be used in instances
where auto negotiation fails to provide the expected result or where a fixed setting is
preferred.
Within Eclipse Accessories 2 m, 5 m, 15 m, or 30 m RJ-45 to RJ-45 Straight Cables
are available. They are electrically identical to the straight RJ-45 to RJ-45 cables
available for the IDU trib ports. Refer to
IDU RJ-45 to RJ-45 Straight Cable on
page 3
.
The crossover RJ-45 to RJ-45 cables available for the IDU E1 tribs are not suitable
for use as crossover Ethernet cables.
CAUTION:
The crossover RJ-45 to RJ-45 cables available for the IDU
tribs are not suitable for use as crossover Ethernet cables.
