5.5. Cabling
UTP/STP cables are required for Port 1~4. Fiber transceiver is required for Port 5
(SFP).
Ethernet cable Request
The wiring cable types for data transmission are as below.
y
10/100BaseT(X) Cat. 5 UTP/STP
y
1000BaseT Cat. 5e, 6 UTP/STP
The wiring cable types for data transmission and power delivery in any speed are
Cat. 5 or above.
SFP Installation
While install the SFP transceiver, make sure the SFP type of the 2 ends is the same
and the transmission distance, wavelength, fiber cable can meet your request.
The way to connect the SFP transceiver is to Plug in SFP fiber transceiver fist. The
SFP transceiver has 2 plug for fiber cable, one is TX (transmit), the other is RX
(receive). Cross-connect the transmit channel at each end to the receive channel at
the opposite end.
Note:
Select Ethernet cables with specifications suitable for your applications to set
up your systems. Ethernet cables are categorized into unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
and shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables. For systems with 100 Mbps transmission
speed, Category 5, 6 Ethernet cables are the only suitable specifications for this
environment. You also need to make sure that the distance between each node
cannot be longer than 100 meters (328 feet).
