Connecting Ethernet
Ports 1 thru 12
Use only certified Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. The connectors on the
NS12PF Ethernet switch accept both Neutrik EtherCon
®
and standard
RJ45 connectors
Maximum operational cable lenghts are typically 95 metres with UTP
cables, 50 metres with SFTP, FTP or STP cables.
These ports also support Power over Ethernet, with a maximum of
100 Watt allocatable power.
Ports 13 and 14
Use only Neutrik supplied fiberoptic cable, with Neutrik OpticalCon
®
2-pole connectors.
This cable supports Multimode 125/50
m
m.
Maximum operational cable length is typically 550 metres without
couplers (1000BASE-SX Multimode)
Please use caution when bending fiberoptic cable. This type of
cabling is very sensitive to excessive bends and kinks in the glass
fiberoptic strands.
Power Requirements
The NS12PF Ethernet switch must be connected to a 100-240V
50-60Hz electrical power supply, with a single phase, neutral and
ground connection. For safety reasons the NS12PF Ethernet switch
must be connected to a properly grounded power outlet.
Always use the Powercon power lead supplied with the NS12PF Eth-
ernet switch.
The power input fuse is located next to the PowerCon
®
input. Do
not use a different type of fuse, always replace a blown fuse by a
compatible fuse.
