DC Terminal Block Power Inputs: There are two pairs of
power inputs can be used to power up this switch. Redundant
power supplies function is supported.

The 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/BX Connectors

1. The 10/100Base-TX Connections

The following lists the pinouts of 10/100Base-TX ports.

Pin Regular Ports Uplink port

1 Output Transmit Data + Input Receive Data +
2 Output Transmit Data - Input Receive Data ­3 Input Receive Data + Output Transmit Data +
4 NC NC
5 NC NC
6 Input Receive Data - Output Transmit Data ­7 NC NC
8 NC NC

2. The 100Base-FX Connections
The fiber port pinouts: The Tx (transmit) port of device I is
connected to the Rx (receive) port of device II, and the Rx
(receive) port of device I to the Tx (transmit) port of device II.

Preface

A member of the growing family of rugged switches, this
switch addresses a need for a smaller switch. This switch
provides an affordable solution for rugged and outdoor
environment, transportation road-side cabinet, industrial
floor shop, multitenant dwellings or Fiber To The Home
(FTTH) applications. Capable of operating at temperature

extremes of -40°C to +75°C, this is the switch of choice for
harsh environments constrained by space.

Plug-and-Play Solution:
The switch is a plug-and-play Fast Ethernet Switch in
compact size. It doesn't have any complicated software to
set up.

This manual describes how to install and use the hardened
Ethernet Switch. This switch integrates full wire speed
switching technology. This switch brings the answer to
complicated hardened networking environments.

To get the most out of this manual, you should have an
understanding of Ethernet networking concepts.
