LAN interfaces (X4IP, X8PL and X5IP card)
Purpose
Ethernet LAN cables (10/100/1000Base-T) can be connected to these interfaces.
Connector data
The LAN connectors which are located on the X4IP, X8PL and X5IP option cards are 8-pin RJ45 connectors with metal shell for grounding.

Cable data - GE
The following figure displays the cable desgin for the Gigabit Ethernet (GE) LAN cable. As GE interfaces are bidirectional, the MDI wiring conforms to the IEEE 802.3-2002 standard. Based on this standard, the MDI-X (cross-over) functions for bidirectional GE interfaces are not compatible with the MDI-X functions for E/FE interfaces.
The following figure displays the MDI connector for MDI-X functions and is denoted with the symbol 'X'.

Cable data
A standard LAN cable (CAT5) can be used (100 Ω symmetrical).
Cable connection
Please connect the LAN cables as shown in the figure below.
Figure 4-43: LAN cables (X4IP card)
Figure 4-44: LAN cables (X8PL card)
The X5IP option card is cabled in the same manner as the X4IP and the X8PL option cards.
NOTE: The routing of the LAN cables should be in accordance with the recommended practices of the cable selected. The cable should be strain relieved to prevent any force from being exerted on the connectors.
