2.1.6 Cabling
10/100/1000Base-T
All 10/100/1000Base-T ports come with Auto-Negotiation capability. They automatically support
1000Base-T, 100Base-TX and 10Base-T networks. Users only need to plug a working network device
into one of the 10/100/1000Base-T ports, and then turn on the Industrial Gigabit PoE+ Switch. The port
will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps and 1000Mbps or 2000Mbps after the
negotiation with the connected device.
100Base-FX/1000Base-SX/LX
The MC352-4P-2S Industrial Gigabit PoE+ Switch has two SFP interfaces that support 100/1000 dual
speed mode (Optional Multi-mode/Single-mode 100Base-FX/1000Base-SX/LX SFP module) through
DIP switch setting.
Cabling
Each 10/100/1000Base-T port uses RJ-45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks -- for connection of
unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3ab Fast/Gigabit Ethernet standard
requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks can use Cat.3, 4, 5 or
1000Base-T uses 5/5e/6 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance is 100 meters (328 feet). The
100Base-FX/1000Base-SX/LX SFP slot is used as LC connector with optional SFP module. Please see
table below and know more about the cable’s specification.
Port Type Cable Type Connector
10Base-T Cat 3, 4, 5, 2-pair RJ-45
100Base-TX Cat.5 UTP, 2-pair RJ-45
1000Base-T Cat.5/5e/6 UTP, 4-pair RJ-45
100Base-FX
50/125µm or 62.5/125µm multi-mode
9/125µm single-mode
LC (Multi/Single mode)
1000Base-SX/LX
50/125µm or 62.5/125µm multi-mode
9/125µm single-mode
LC (Multi/Single mode)
Any Ethernet devices like hubs/PCs can be connected to the Industrial Gigabit PoE+ Switch by using
straight-through wires. The four 10/100/1000Mbps ports are auto-MDI/MDI-X and can be used on
straight-through or crossover cable.
2.1.6.1 Installing the SFP transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP transceiver into the MC352-4P-2S SFP slot.
The SFP transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can plug-in and out the transceiver
to/from any SFP port without having to power down the Industrial Gigabit PoE+ Switch as the
Figure 2-3
appears.
