in short SPIDER, are switches especially
designed for use in industrial environments.
It supports ETHERNET 10 MBit/s and Fast
ETHERNET 100 MBit/s.
The devices support switched ETHERNET
networks in accordance with IEEE standard
802.3 using copper and fiber optic technolo-
gy. The devices are plugged onto the stan-
dard bar.
The SPIDER 3TX-TAP (SPIDER 5TX, SPIDER
5TX EEC, SPIDER 8TX, SPIDER 8TX EEC)
devices have three (five, eight) 10/100
MBit/s twisted pair ports (RJ45 connectors).
It is possible to connect up to three (five,
eight) data terminal equipments or other
network segments to the TP ports using twi-
sted pair cabling.
The SPIDER 1TX/1FX... devices have one
10/100 MBit/s twisted pair port (RJ45
connectors) and one 100 MBit/s fiber optic
port (100BASE-FX, Duplex SC connector). It
is possible to connect one data terminal
equipments or other network segments to
the TP ports using twisted pair cabling. One
further DTE or optical network component
can be connected to the fiber port.
The SPIDER 4TX/1FX... devices have four
10/100 MBit/s twisted pair ports (RJ45
connectors) and one 100 MBit/s fiber optic
port (100BASE-FX, Duplex SC connector or
ST connector on SPIDER 4TX/1FX-ST EEC).
It is possible to connect up to four data
terminal equipments or other network
segments to the TP ports using twisted pair
cabling. One further DTE or optical network
component can be connected to the fiber
port.
The TP ports support autonegotiation, auto-
polarity and autocrossing.
The fiber optic port of the SPIDER
1TX/1FX... and SPIDER 4TX/1FX... supports
full duplex (FDX).
