Connects E1-HM96
Ethernet copper ports to
transmit data.
Optical fiber
XFP/SFP+/SFP/CFP
interfaces
Connects the optical
interfaces to transmit data.
Ethernet twisted pair cable
An Ethernet twisted pair cable consists of four pairs of insulated wires twisted together. It mainly
transmits analog signals and is advantageous in transmitting data over shorter distances. The
maximum transmission distance is 100 m (328.08 ft).
To extend the maximum transmission distance, you can use a repeater to connect two Ethernet
twisted pair cables. You can use up to four repeaters to extend the maximum transmission distance
to 500 m (1640.42 ft).
RJ-45 connector
An Ethernet twisted pair cable connects network devices through the RJ-45 connectors at the two
ends.
shows the pinouts of an RJ-45 connector.

Cable pinouts
EIA/TIA cabling specifications define two standards: 568A and 568B for cable pinouts.
