Overview
StrainBook/616, Rear Panel
StrainBook/616 connects directly to an Ethernet port on a PC or network hub, via the unit’s built-in
10/100BaseT Ethernet interface. An Ethernet patch cable CA-242 (1.5 foot) or CA-242-7 (7 foot) cable is
used to make the connection. Note that either a straight-through or a cross-over cable may be used. The
circuitry automatically adjusts for the cable type to ensure proper connection.
