Ports 1 through 4 are MicroLANs (ENET 1 through 4) with each one 
consisting of 12 UTP connections via a 50-pin RJ21 connector. Ports 5 
and 6 support FE-100TX, FE-100FX, or FE-100F3 Fast Ethernet 
Interface Modules. 

The FE-100TX has an RJ45 connector for a UTP cable connection. The 
FE-100FX and FE-100F3 have SC connectors for fiber optic cable
