CABLE SPECIFICATIONS
The physical characteristics of the media cable must meet or exceed IEEE 802.3
specifications.
Fiber Cable
MULTIMODE
Fiber Optic Cable Recommended:
62.5 / 125 µm multimode fiber

Attenuation:
≤
3.75 dB/ 1 kilometer @ 850 nM
Fiber-optic Transmitter Power:
min: -16.0 dBm
max: -10.0 dBm
Fiber-optic Receiver Sensitivity:
min: -29.50 dBm

Typical Maximum Cable Distance:*
Full-duplex
300 meters @ 100 Mb/s
2 kilometers @ 10 Mb/s
Half Duplex: See page 4
*Actual distance dependent upon physical characteristics of network installation.
Copper Cable
Category 5 twisted-pair copper wire is required. Either shielded twisted-pair
(STP) or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) can be used. DO NOT USE FLAT OR
SILVER SATIN WIRE.
CATEGORY 5:

24 to 22 AWG
Attenuation
22.0 dB /100m @ 100 MHz
Maximum Cable Distance:
100 meters
The two active pairs in an Ethernet™ network are pins 1 & 2 and pins 3 & 6. Use
only dedicated wire pairs (such as blue/white & white/blue, orange/white &
white/orange) for the active pins.
Twisted pair connection requires two active pairs configured as straight through or
crossover, as shown:
RJ-45 Pin-out:
Pin 1=TD+, Pin 2=TD-, Pin 3=RD+, Pin 6=RD-
Use the the CSETF10xx media converter to connect a 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX terminal device and a 10BASE-FL or 100BASE-SX (half-duplex
only) hub, switch, or router:
Or use the the CSETF10xx media converter to connect a 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX hub, switch, or router and a 10BASE-FL or 100BASE-SX terminal
device:
