Drop cable tester
The drop cable tester is an optional item for testing the resistances between the RJ45 pins of
the drop cable. A suitable example is the Modapt adaptor manufactured by The Siemon
Company.
Indoor Cat5e cable
To connect the PSU to network terminating equipment, use indoor Cat5e cable. The ODU
network connection implements automatic MDI/MDI-X sensing and pair swapping, allowing
connection to networking equipment that requires cross-over cables (MDI-X networks) or
straight-through cables (MDI Networks).
SFP module kits
SFP module kits allow connection of a PTP 550 Series ODU to a network over a Gigabit
Ethernet interface in one of the following full-duplex modes:
•
Optical Gigabit Ethernet: 1000BASE-LX or 1000BASE-SX
•
Copper Gigabit Ethernet: 1000BASE-T
