FIC-2FE/FIC-4FE
Introduction
2-port, and 4-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX fast Ethernet interface modules (FIC-2FE, and FIC-4FE) are
mainly used for the communication between the router and LAN.
The modules support:
• 100 meters (328.1 ft) of transmission segment over the category-5 twisted-pair cable.
• Operation at 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps, autosensing.
• Full duplex and half-duplex, with the former in common use.
