1000Base-TX Twisted Pair Port
Each AT-MC1008 Series converter features one fixed 1000 Mbps twisted
pair port. The features of the twisted pair ports are described below.
Type of Connector
The twisted pair ports on the AT-MC1008 Series converters feature
8-pin RJ-45 connectors. The port uses all eight pins when operating at
1000 Mbps. For port pinout details, refer to “RJ-45 Twisted Pair Port
Pinouts” on page 54.
Port Speed
The twisted pair port on the AT-MC1008 Series converters operates at a
fixed speed of 1000 Mbps.
Duplex Mode
Duplex mode refers to how an end-node receives and transmits data. If
an end-node can receive or transmit data, but not both simultaneously,
the end-node is operating in half-duplex mode. If an end-node can both
receive and transmit data simultaneously, the end-node is said to be
operating in full-duplex mode. Naturally, an end-node capable of
operating in full-duplex can handle data much faster than an end-node
that can only operate in half-duplex mode.
The twisted pair port on the AT-MC1008 Series converters is IEEE
802.3u compliant and advertises only 1000 Mbps and full duplex
capability.
Maximum Distance
The twisted pair port on the AT-MC1008 Series converters have a
maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
Type of Cabling
The twisted pair port requires Category 5 or Enhanced Category 5 (5E)
100 ohm shielded or unshielded twisted pair cabling.
