10/100 Module
The 10/100 module is compatible with the IEEE 802.3 10BaseT standard and the
IEEE 802.3u 100BaseT standard. The ports use RJ-45 connectors and Category 5
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) copper cabling. For connector and schematic
information, see Appendix B, “Connectors and Cables.”
100BaseFX Modules
The 100BaseFX modules have either two or four switched 100BaseFX ports for
100-Mbps fiber-optic connectivity. The ports can run in half-duplex or full-duplex
modes. The module support the IEEE 802.3u 100BaseT standard and use
standard, duplex, SC connectors. Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3 show the 100BaseFX
modules.
