Cabling Considerations
This Appendix describes the pin-to-pin connections for cables used with the Mediatrix C7 Series.
RJ-45 Cable
The RJ-45 connector is commonly used for network cabling and for telephony applications. It is used to wire
both ends identically so the signals pass str aight through.
RJ-45 cabling is also known as Twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE), Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and 10/100
Base-T.
Figure 6: RJ-45 Cable
When connecting an Ethernet cable to the Mediatrix C7 Series, use a standard telecommunication cord with
a minimum of 26 AWG wire size. It is possible to use either a crossover or straight Ethernet cable to connect
in the Ethernet
connectors. These connectors perform automatic MDI / MDIX detection, meaning that they
adapt to the type of cable connected to them.
The auto MDI / MDIX feature works only when the connectors are configured in auto detect mode, which is
the default mode.
Whenever you force the Mediatrix C7 Series to use a specific Ethernet mode (for example 100 Mb Full
Duplex), the type of cable to use depends on the other peer. For example, a straight cable is required to
connect the Mediatrix C7 Series to a hub or a switch, while a crossover cable is required to connect the
Mediatrix C7 Series to a PC.
Warning:
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
