2.4.4 BPM-TP
The Magnum BPM-TP card is equipped with a single RJ-45 connector and supports
Ethernet twisted pair segments of any standard length. The RJ-45 connector is shielded to
minimize emissions and will allow both unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and shielded twisted pair
(STP) segment connections.
The BPM-TP module is also equipped with a Media Dependent Interface-Crossover
(MDI-X) slide switch to allow for cascaded connections. This feature eliminates the need for a
special twisted pair crossover cable. For MDI-X switch details, refer to the RPM-TP section,
2.3.7.
The BPM-TP will support 10BASE-T unshielded twisted pair wiring (UTP)
environments with maximum segment distances up to 100m (325 ft.), or shielded twisted pair
wiring (STP) of 150m (500 ft.). This
module is designed with internal
transceiver functionality. The LINK,
FWD-I, and FWD-X LEDs of this
BPM are the same as those of the
BPM-FST (Section 2.4.3).
