Cabling; Installing The Sfp Transceiver - Planet Networking & Communication FRT-415N User Manual

2.2 Cabling

 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX
The 10/100Mbps RJ45 ports come with auto-negotiation capability. Users only need to plug in working
network device into one of the 10/100Mbps RJ45 ports. The FRT-415N will automatically run in 10Mbps or
100Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device. The FRT-415N has one 100BASE-FX SFP
interface (optional multi-mode/single-mode 100BASE-FX SFP module).
 Cabling
Each 10/100BASE-TX port uses RJ45 sockets for connection to unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP).
Port Type
10BASE-T
100BASE-TX
Any Ethernet devices like hubs or PCs can connect to the fiber router by using straight-through wires. The
10/100Mbps RJ45 ports which support auto MDI/MDI-X can be used on straight-through or crossover cable.

2.2.1 Installing the SFP Transceiver

This section describes how to insert an SFP transceiver into an SFP slot. The SFP transceiver is hot-pluggable
and hot-swappable. You can plug in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port without having to power
down the fiber router as Figure 2-12 appears.
