Network connections

Ethernet
The CP 1616 is designed for operation in Ethernet networks. Additional features are:
● The connectors are designed for 10BaseT and 100BaseTX.
● Data transfer rates of 10 and 100 Mbps in full/half duplex mode are supported.
● The handshake is performed automatically (auto negotiation).
● A 3-port realtime switch is located in the module.
● Autocrossing
Three RJ45 connectors
