FEPIM Specifications

The 9H423-28 SmartSwitch 9000 module uses a Fast Ethernet Interface Module 
(FEPIM) to provide front panel cable connections. FEPIMs are user-installable. 
See the section titled Installing an FEPIM in Chapter 2.

FE-100TX

The FE-100TX is an RJ45 connector supporting Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) 
cabling.

The slide switch on the FE-100TX determines the crossover status of the cable 
pairs. If the switch is on the 

X

 side, the pairs are internally crossed over. If the 

switch is on the 

=

 side, the pairs are not internally crossed over. Figure A-1 shows 

the pinouts for the FEPIM-100TX in both positions.

Figure A-1. FE-100TX Pinouts

FE-100FX

The FE-100FX shown in Figure A-2 supports multimode fiber optic cabling. The 
FE-100FX is equipped with an SC-style port. Table A-1 lists the specifications for 
the FE-100FX.
