This chapter provides information on the Ethernet 10/100 Line Card’s interfaces and instructions for installing the cables.
The Ethernet 10/100 Line Card has eight RJ-45 interfaces, as shown in the figure below. Each of these is an auto-sensing 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet interface that terminates a shielded twisted pair copper cable. The interfaces are labeled 1 through 8 from top to bottom.
IMPORTANT: To comply with GR-1089 intra-building, lightning-immunity requirements and ensure compliance with FCC Radiated Emissions Criteria, you must use shielded-twisted pair cable and ensure that it is properly terminated at both ends.
