EtherNet/IP Connector
Typically, Ethernet network connections are made with pre-assembled
(standard) patch cords to interconnect modules according to the desired
network topology.
Each module has an integrated switch and two functionally equal (Port 1 and
Port 2) RJ45 connectors.
The total length of Ethernet cable connecting main-to- main, main-to-
controller, or main-to-switch must not exceed 100 m (328 ft.).
If the entire channel is constructed of stranded cable (no fixed cable), then
calculate maximum length as follows:
Maximum Length = (113-2N)/y, meters
Where:
• N = the number of connections in the channel
• y = the loss factor that is compared to fixed cable (typically 1.2…1.5)
Wire the RJ45 connector as shown.
IMPORTANT See Ethernet Cables, channel class and category and recommended cables
under “Cable, Connector, and Mounting Accessories
on page 17,” for
additional information on Ethernet connectivity.
