shielded, either unshielded or shielded cables and wiring may be used.

will be illuminated when the unit is powered and proper connection is 
established

 

NOTE:  for Power Substations:   In support of the IEEE 1613 Class 2 standard, GCI 

advises that, for substation applications, the RJ-45 ports are intended for 
connectivity to other communication equipment such as routers or 
telecommunication multiplexers installed in close proximity (i.e., less than 2 
meters or 6.5ft) to the 6K32. It is not recommended to use these ports in 
substation applications to interface to field devices across distances which 
could produce high (greater than 2500V ) levels of ground potential rise (GPR) 
during line-to-ground fault conditions. The 6K32 passes the 1613specifications 
for zero packet loss with fiber ports & with RJ45 ports used as indicated here.

Shielded) 

The RJ-45 1000BASE-TX Gigabit ports of the Magnum 6K32F Series can be 

connected via copper media with the following minimum specifications;

 

1000BASE-T, 

CAT-5e, or for better results, 100-ohm UTP  shielded twisted pair (STP) balanced cable.  

The CAT-5e or the more effective 100-ohm UTP shielded twisted pair (STP) balanced 

cable is recommended when making 1000BASE-TX connections.  In either case, the 

maximum distance for unshielded twisted pair cabling is 100 meters (328 ft).   

IEEE Standard          Connector  

Twisted Pair (CAT-5e)              

1000BASE-T                RJ-45 

NOTE :   It is recommended that high quality CAT-5e cables (which work for both 100 

Mb and 1000Mb) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a 
mixed-speed network. 

The following procedure describes how to connect a 1000BASE-T twisted pair segment 

to the RJ-45 port. The procedure is the same for both unshielded and shielded twisted 

pair cables. 

1.    1000BASE-T connections require that all four pairs or wires be connected.  Insert 

either end of the cable with an RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 connector of the port. 
Note that, even though the connector is shielded, either unshielded or shielded 
cables and wiring may be used.  

2.   Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device 
3.   Use the LINK LED to ensure proper connectivity by noting that the LED will be 

illuminated when the unit is powered and proper connection is established.
