Page 19: Appendix 1 - Options Port Pin-Out
APPENDIX 1 - OPTIONS PORT PIN-OUT port uses a 10p10c socket which can accommodate both 10p10c OPTIONS connectors as well as the much more common 8p8c connectors, which are used on Ethernet leads and patch cables. The pin-outs are listed in this section for both types of connector. -
Page 20: Appendix 2 - Link Cable Interference Protection
APPENDIX 2 - LINK CABLE INTERFERENCE PROTECTION While the Category rating (e.g. CAT 5e, CAT 6a, CAT 7, etc.) determines the electrical performance of a cable, another vital part of the overall cable specification is its protection from interference. As cabling distances and data rates increase, so too does the susceptibility to interference, from both external and internal sources. -
