network directly. SIC-4FSW-PoE/DSIC-9FSW-PoE interface cards can supply power
to powered devices (PDs) through power over Ethernet (PoE).
Functions supported by interface cards are as follows.
■ Effective transmission distance of 100 meters with category-5 twisted pair
cables (both crossover and straight-through);
■ Effective transmission distance of 100 meters between any interfaces with
category-5 twisted pair cables (both crossover and straight-through);
■ Operating speeds of both 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps and autosensing;
■ Both full duplex (in common use) and half-duplex operating modes.

MDI stands for Media Dependent Interface of the Ethernet. Normally, the
interfaces on the network cards belong to this type. MDIX stands for Cross Media
Dependent Interface, which is usually adopted on HUBs or LAN Switches.
