1.1 CONNECTIVITY
The 5H152-50 and 5H153-50 modules connect to Ethernet networks or workstations through the
front panel connectors. The ports support Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables with an
impedance between 85 and 111 ohms at lengths up to 100 meters. The ports are IEEE 802.3
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX compliant.
Both of the 5H152-50 and 5H153-50 modules have a port slot that supports either a 5PIM-G02 or
5PIM-G06 gigabit-uplink interface module.
1.1.1 About the Optional 5PIM-G02
The 5PIM-G02 has two fixed RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports that comply to the 1000BASE-T
standard. These ports support Category 5 or higher UTP cable for 1-Gbps uplinks.
1.1.2 About the Optional 5PIM-G06
The 5PIM-G06 has two port slots that support optional Gigabit Port Interface Modules (GPIMs)
for fiber optic uplinks. The fiber optic cable connection is dependent on the model of the GPIM.
1.1.3 About the Optional GPIM
The GPIMs are hot swappable and any combination of GPIMs can be installed in the 5PIM-G06.
There are three available GPIMs (GPIM-01, GPIM-08, and GPIM-09) to make the following fiber
optic uplink connections to a Gigabit Ethernet network.
NOTE: The acronym “GPIM” stands for Gigabit (Ethernet) Port Interface Module. In this
manual, GPIM is used to designate any type of GPIM, regardless of the style of
connection. When referring to a specific GPIM, the name is used, e.g., GPIM-01.
In the networking industry, Gigabit (Ethernet) Interface Card (GBIC) is the standard term
for GPIM.
