10BASE-T Network
2-2
2.2 10BASE-T NETWORK
When connecting a 10BASE-T segment to any of the module ports (1 through 48), ensure that the
network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.3 standard for 10BASE-T.
Refer to the Cabling Guide for details.
2.3 100BASE-TX NETWORK
The fixed front panel ports (1 through 48) of the module also provide a connection that supports
Category 5 UTP cabling. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE
802.3u 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet network requirements for the devices to operate at 100 Mbps.
Refer to the Cabling Guide for details.
2.4 1000BASE-T NETWORK (5PIM-G02)
The fixed front panel ports on the 5PIM-02 provide copper wire connections that can operate at
1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) and are 1000BASE-T compliant. The device at the other end of the copper
connection must also meet the 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet requirements for the devices to
operate at Gigabit speed.
2.5 1000BASE-SX/LX NETWORK (5PIM-G06)
The optional GPIMs (GPIM-01, GPIM-08, or GPIM-09) for the 5PIM-G06 ports 1 and 2 provide a
Gigabit Ethernet connection that supports fiber connections operating at 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).
Other GPIMs may support different types of cabling connections. The device at the other end of
the fiber connection must meet IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet requirements for the devices to
operate at Gigabit speed. Refer to Appendix C for further details on GPIM specifications.
NOTE: If a port is to operate at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used.
Category 3 cabling does not meet 100 Mbps specifications. For 10 Mbps operation only,
Category 3 or Category 5 cabling can be used. Refer to Section 2.3 for information
about 100BASE-TX networks and cabling.
NOTE: The fixed ports of the module support Category 5 UTP cabling with an
impedance between 85 and 111 ohms for 100 Mbps operation.
The module is capable of operating at either 10 or 100 Mbps. The module automatically
senses the speed of the other device and adjusts its speed accordingly.
