Ethernet media cards

The 8-port Ethernet media card provides eight full-duplex interfaces. Figure 5-22 shows an
8-port faceplate.

The 4-port Ethernet medis card provides four full-duplex interfaces. Figure 5-23 shows a
4-port faceplate.

Attaching 10/100Base-T media cables

There are two types of Ethernet 10/100Base-T media cards, one provides four physical
interfaces, one provides eight physical interfaces. The cards run the same code, have the same
LEDs, and are otherwise the same. Each physical interface is capable of full and half-duplex
operation, and can run at either 100 Mb/s or 10 Mb/s rates.
Ethernet cables are specified to a length of 100 meters.
As shown in Figure 5-24, the Ethernet interface requires RJ-45 connectors and Category 5
UTP cables.
