NV-310M/S EOC Master and Slave USER’S MANUAL Ver. D2 Appendix A: Cable Requirements A CAT 3, 4 or 5 UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable is typically used to connect the Ethernet device to the device. A 10Base-T cable often consists of four pairs of wires, two of which are used for transmission. The connector at the end of the10Base-T cable is referred to as an RJ-45 connector and it consists of eight pins.

NH-310M: 130mm x 94.5mm x 27mm (5.12” x 3.72“ x 1.06“) (L x W x H) Dimension: NH-310S: 130mm x 94.5mm x 27mm (5.12” x 3.72“ x 1.06“) (L x W x H) Operating: 0ºC ~ 50ºC (32ºF ~ 122ºF) Temperature: Storage: -20ºC ~ 70ºC (-4ºF ~ 158ºF)
The link is failed between NH-310M and NH-310S. The functionality of NH-310S is abnormal. Cause: The output level of voltage is too high for short connection. It must use the attenuator to be connected with MDU Master NH-310M and Slave NH-310S to Solution: attenuate the transmission power level to -10dBm(5MHz-850MHz) at least.
