8.4.5 Interface Cable

I. Ethernet cable
The FE modules use category-5 twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors (see Figure
8-9). Pins 1 and 2 of the connectors are for transmitting data, and Pins 3 and 6 are for
receiving data.

Figure 8-9 Ethernet cable

II. Making an Ethernet cable
To make an Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors using a category-5 twisted-pair cable,
refer to Figure 8-10. A category-5 twisted-pair cable is composed of eight wires that are
identified and grouped by colors of the outer insulator. Usually a solid color wire and a
white/solid color wire are organized in pairs. But sometimes, wires are also paired by
color coded points.
OFF means no link is present; ON means a link is present.
OFF means no packets are being transmitted/received on the
interface; blinking means packets are being transmitted/received on
the interface.
