Connecting Network Cable
As shown in Figure 4, the Midspan is connected in series to an Ethernet switch/hub. The data outputs
from the switch are connected to the Midspan. The Midspan delivers power over spare twisted pairs (pins
4/5 and 7/8) of the Ethernet cable, without degrading the quality of data communications. The
Management port should be connected to the network to allow remote management of the device.
