Connecting Twisted-Pair Copper Cable to UTP/STP
Connector (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX)
Ensure that the correct cable type is installed to support the highest speed
and mode of operation to be selected. Though Category 3 cable is
adequate for the 10BASE-T installation, Category 5 cable is strongly
recommended, since Category 3 cable can NOT be used for 100BASE-TX.
10BASE-T AND THE ETHERNET COLLISION DOMAIN
•
Refer to the 5-Segment Rule (page 6) before installing half-duplex
10BASE-T cable.
•
Installing full-duplex twisted-pair cable avoids collision domain
considerations; distances remain
≤
100 meters.
100BASE-TX AND THE FAST ETHERNET COLLISION DOMAIN
•
Refer to the 512-Bit Rule (page 7) before installing half-duplex
100BASE-TX cable.
•
Installing full-duplex twisted-pair cable avoids collision domain
considerations; distances remain
≤
100 meters.
•
NOTE: A Fast Ethernet collision domain can have ONLY ONE
CLASS I repeater OR TWO CLASS II repeaters.
INSTALLING CABLE
To install 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX cable:
1. Locate or build 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX cables:
•
803.2 (10BASE-T) or 803.2u (100BASE-TX) compliant (page
11)
•
with Straight-through or Crossover RJ-45 cable/connectors as
required for site installation (page 7)
•
with RJ-45 plug connectors installed at both cable ends.
2. Connect RJ-45 plug connector at one end of 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX cable to bridging media converter RJ-45 jack
connector.
3. Connect RJ-45 plug connector at other end of 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX cable to RJ-45 jack connector on network device.
Installing Slide-In-Module(s)
CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge
precautions when installing Media Converter Slide-in-Module(s) in the
Media Conversion Center. Failure to observe this caution could result in
damage to, and subsequent failure of, the Media Converter Slide-in-
Module(s).
NOTE: Slide-in-Modules can be installed in any installation slot, in any
order.
To install the Media Converter Slide-in-Module in the E-MCC-1600
chassis:
1. Remove Media Converter Slide-in-Module protective plate from
selected installation slot by removing two screws that secure plate to
front of E-MCC-1600.
2. Carefully slide Media Converter Slide-in-Module into installation
slot, aligning Media Converter Slide-in-Module with installation
guides.
NOTE: Ensure that the Media Converter Slide-in-Module is seated
firmly against the backplane.
3. Secure Slide-in-Module to E-MCC-1600 chassis by rotating captive
screw attached to Slide-in-Module clockwise into chassis.
