RPM-TP      (Twisted Pair) 

 

The Magnum RPM-TP card supports Ethernet twisted pair segments of any 

standard length.  It is equipped with a single RJ-45 connector.  The RJ-45 connector is 

shielded to minimize 

emissions and will 

allow both unshielded 

twisted pair (UTP) and 

shielded twisted pair 

(STP) segment 

connections. 

 

 

 

 

Magnum RPM-TP

 

The RPM-TP module is also equipped with a Media Dependent 

 

Interface-Crossover (MDI-X) slide switch to allow for cascaded connections.  This 

feature eliminates the need for a special twisted pair crossover cable. 

 

With the switch in the UP position, the RPM-TP port is used for cascaded and 

up-link connections (i.e.: a connection to another repeater or hub or concentrator 

typically.)  When used for segments going to workstations and other user device 

connections, the MDI-X switch should be in the DOWN position. 

 

The RPM-TP will support 10BASE-T unshielded twisted pair wiring (UTP) 

environments with maximum segment distances up to 100m (325 ft.), or shielded twisted 

pair wiring (STP) of 150m (500 ft.).  This module is designed with internal transceiver 

functionality.  The RPM-FST has LINK, PART, and RX LEDs.
