The two
connectors
on the FEIP
port
adapter are
single
MIT
40-pin
D-shell
type
and
single
RJ-45
You
can use either
one
or the other
Only one connector can
be used
at
one time The FEIP
can
have
up
to
two
port adapters
installed
Each
connection
supports
IEEE
802.3u interfaces
compliant
with
the
100BASE-X
and
100BASE-T
standards
The RJ-45
connection does not require
an external
transceiver
however
the
MIT
connection
does
depending
on
the type of connection
you
use
The
RJ-45 modular
connector
see
Figure
2-17 has
strain relief functionality incorporated into
the
design
of
its
standard
plastic
connector
Figure
2-17
and
Figure

show
the
RJ-45 and MIT
connectors
