Ethernet cable with the RJ45 connector into the device until it locks into place. When two, three or four Ethernet ports are used, the FieldGate SWG50 is classified as a switch. If only one port is used, it is a straightforward end-node device. The maximum number of linked gateways and the maximum distance between the units are based on the Ethernet standards and are determined by the environment and the compliance of the network with the standard.
