  6. Connect standard Ethernet cables between the RocketLinx ES7510-XT ports and the network nodes.

    Ports 1-8 are 10/100BASE-TX IEEE802.3af (PoE) and IEEE802.3at (PoE Plus) compliant Ethernet ports.

    Ports G9 and G10 are Gigabit combo ports (RJ45/SFP) that support 10/100/1000BASE-TX, 100BASE-FX, and 1000BASE-X with digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM)

    The following table shows the RJ45 PoE pin-out assignment.

    Pin10/100BASE-TX PoE Signal
    1RX+ and Vport-
    2RX- and Vport+
    3TX+ and Vport+
    4 and 5Not connected
    6TX- and Vport+
    7 and 8Not connected

    All of the fast Ethernet ports auto-detect the signal from connected devices to negotiate the link speed and duplex mode. Auto MDI/MDIX allows you to connect another switch, hub, or workstation without changing straight-through or crossover cables. Crossover cables cross-connect the transmit lines at each end to the received lines at the opposite end.

    Power Connector

    Always make sure that the cables between the switch and attached devices (for example, switch, hub, or workstation) do not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

    • 10BASE-T: Category 3, 4, or 5 cable

    • 100BASE-TX: Category 5 cable

    • 1000BASE-TX: Category 5 or 5e cable

    • IEEE 802.3af: Category 5 cable

    • IEEE 802.3at: Category 5e or 6 cable

  7. Optionally, connect the SFP transceivers. Cross-connect the transmit channel at each end to the receive channel at the opposite end .

    The RocketLinx ES7510-XT two Gigabit SFP ports are combo ports with the Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports. The speed of the SFP port supports 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-X. The SFP ports accept standard mini-GBIC SFP transceivers. To ensure system reliability, Comtrol recommends using Comtrol certified SFP transceivers.

    The SFP and corresponding RJ45 ports work in an exclusive mode. Traffic sent or received through the SFP module will have priority thus no traffic will be sent or received over the corresponding RJ45 connection. To use the RJ45 connection, remove the corresponding SFP module.
