10/100/1000Base-TX Ports Definition
The following sections detail PD-96xxG ports, and their functions.
3.1
Data Input Ports
Midspan has 6 or 12 10/100/1000Base-T
Data In
ports which are located on PoE front panel, configured in a
non-crossover manner (straight–wired), as shown in
These ports are designed to carry Ethernet data (Tx/Rx) over:
• Standard 4-wire pairs (pins 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8) (1000Base-T)
• 2-wire pairs (pins 1/2, and 3/6) (10/100Base-T)
3.2
Data and Power Output Ports
Midspan has 6 or 12 10/100/1000Base-T
Data and Power Out
ports which are located on the front panel, configured
in a non
‑
crossover manner (straight–wired) as shown in the following figure.
These ports are designed to carry Ethernet data over:
• Standard 4-wire pairs (pins 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8) (1000Base-T)
• 2-wire pairs (pins 1/2, and 3/6) (10/100Base-T)
• PD-96xxG series carry DC power over 4-wire pairs (pins 4/5, 7/8 and pins 1/2, 3/6)
Note:
The PoE Midspan is not a repeater. Therefore, the maximum distance from Ethernet switch must not exceed
100 meters (328 ft.). The PoE Midspan is guaranteed to work only within this distance, as specified in IEEE 802.3at
standard.

Indicators
A set of indicators displays the status of the PoE Midspan and its ports. For more information about the status
information during operation, see

3.3.1
Power Indicator LED
Power Indicator LED on the front panel displays power status of the PoE Midspan. When this LED is illuminated in
green, it indicates that the Midspan is receiving AC power. For more information, see
