Copper Ethernet Ports
The RS401 supports several 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports that allow connection to standard Category 5 (CAT-5)
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with RJ45 male connectors. The RJ45 connectors 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
