Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports
SICOM6000 provides 3 slots, supporting 100M interface modules with 8 10/100Base‐TX RJ45 ports
per module. Each RJ45 port has self‐adaptive function, supporting MDI/MDI‐X auto‐connection.
They can be connected to terminal equipments, severs, hubs or other switches by straight‐through
or cross‐over cables. Each port supports IEEE802.3x self adaptation, so the most suitable
transmitting mode (full/half duplex) and data transmitting rate (10Mbps/100Mbps) can be
automatically selected. If the devices connected to these ports do not support self‐adaptation, these
ports will transmit data at suitable rate and the transmitting mode is default as half duplex. RJ45
ports can form 100Mbit twist‐pair redundant ring network with the recovery time less than 50ms,
improving the reliability of network operation.
