100Base-TX port
The 10/100BASE-TX port supports network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and can
operate in half- and full-duplex transfer modes. This port also offers automatic MDI/MDI-X
crossover detection that gives the device true "plug-n-play" capability – just plug the network
cable into the port and the port will adjust according to the end-node device automatically. The
RJ-45 connector is suitable for UTP cable of Category 3, 4, 5 or better.
100Base-FX port
The 100BASE-FX port has a fiber Fast Ethernet link to your network device. Compliant with
IEEE 802.3u, this port can transmits data at 100Mbps in full duplex mode across distances of up
to 2km over multi-mode fiber-optic cable, and 30km over single-mode fiber-optic cable. The fiber
port has SC fiber connectors.
