System cabling
LAN interfaces (X4IP, X8PL and X5IP card)
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
Ethernet LAN cables (10/100/1000Base-T) can be connected to these interfaces.
Connector data
The LAN connectors which are located on the X4IP, X8PL and X5IP option cards are
8-pin RJ45 connectors with metal shell for grounding.

Point on Connector
Cable data - GE
The following figure displays the cable desgin for the Gigabit Ethernet (GE) LAN
cable. As GE interfaces are bidirectional, the MDI wiring conforms to the IEEE
802.3-2002 standard. Based on this standard, the MDI-X (cross-over) functions for
bidirectional GE interfaces are not compatible with the MDI-X functions for E/FE
interfaces.
The following figure displays the MDI connector for MDI-X functions and is denoted
with the symbol 'X'.
