Section 3.1
Copper Ethernet Ports
The RS969 supports eight 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports that allow connection to standard Category 5 (CAT-5)
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with RJ45 male connectors or M12 male connectors. The RJ45/M12
receptacles are directly connected to the chassis ground on the device and can accept CAT-5 shielded twisted-
pair (STP) cables.
WARNING!
Electric shock hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or equipment interference. If shielded cables
are used, make sure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the RJ45/
M12 receptacles at either end. Ground loops can cause excessive noise and interference, but more
importantly, create a potential shock hazard that can result in serious injury.
