To connect cables to the 5G102-06, proceed to 

, or to 

 for connections to the 

5G106-06.

This section describes how to connect unshielded twisted pair (UTP) segments from the network 
or other devices to the 5G102-06 (

The fixed front panel ports of the 5G102-06 are 1000BASE-T RJ45 ports with automatic 
TXI/RXI-X detection at all speeds 10/100/1000 Mbps. When connecting a workstation to these 
ports, use a straight-through cable. When connecting networking devices to these ports, such as a 
bridge, repeater, or router, use a crossover cable.

Connect a twisted pair segment to the 5G102-06 as follows:

1. Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is powered ON.

2. Connect the twisted pair segment to the 5G102-06 by inserting the RJ45 connector on the 

twisted pair segment into the desired RJ45 port until it snaps into place (see 

). 

.

NOTE: If the module is being installed in a network using Port Trunking, there are rules 
concerning the network cable and port configurations that must be followed for Port 
Trunking to operate properly. Before connecting the cables, refer to the MATRIX E5 
Series Modules Local Management User’s Guide for the configuration information.

For details on how to get manuals, refer to the 

 section in 

.

NOTE: All RJ45 front panel ports on the 5G102-06 support Category 5 Unshielded 
Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms as long as all 
four pairs are connected. For more reliable performance, Category 5e is recommended 
as noted in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A-5 specification.
