XTP CrossPoint Series • Installation

The cable used depends on your network speed. The matrix switcher LAN port supports
both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet),
half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections. Input and output boards support
100Base-T only.
•
10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
•
100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.
The TP cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and must
be properly terminated for your application.
•
Crossover cable
— Direct connection between the computer and the XTP CrossPoint
matrix switcher.
•
Patch (straight) cable
— Connection of the XTP CrossPoint matrix switcher to an
Ethernet LAN and connection to the input and output board XTP connectors.
