Attaching Lobe Cabling at the Module
Twisted pair lobe cabling from Token Ring stations can be
connected to any TRXMIM port. To attach station cable at the
TRXMIM:
1. Insert the male RJ-45 connector from one end of the station’s
lobe cable or Type 3 patch cable into any TCU port (1X through
12X or 24X) on the front of the TRXMIM (see Figure 3-11).
2. If a patch panel is being used, attach the other end of the cable
to the appropriate patch panel jack.
3. Repeat these steps for each station.
Attaching Lobe Cabling at the Station
Connect stations to the TRXMIM using Type 3 patch cables. Attach
one end of the patch cable at the wall plate and the other to the
station port (see Figure 3-11).
NOTE: A Type 3 Media Filter must be installed at the station end
of the lobe cable when connecting UTP lobe cabling between an active
UTP TRXMIM and a Token Ring station without an internal filter.
