ETHERNET ISOLATOR
Installation and Commissioning
Ethernet Wiring
1. Plug in the standard, non-specific Ethernet cable into the non-I.S.-ports of the device.
2. Now interconnect the two Ethernet Isolators by plugging in an Ethernet cable into both I.S.-
ports of the devices.

Ethernet Cabel Overview for Interconnection

The cross-table below gives a general idea which Ethernet cable has to be used for
interconnection of two Ethernet Isolators or an Ethernet Isolator to another device.

General Information about Standard Ethernet Patch and Crossover Cables
The TIA/EIA-568-B Ethernet connector specification defines two types of pin assignment for an
Ethernet cable. The standard Ethernet patch cable is a straight through connection of where
both RJ45 ends wired the same. The Ethernet crossover cable has the RX and TX pairs
switched between the end terminals.
