VIP Port Adapter Functions
Attaching 4E Port Adapter Interface Cables
On a single 4E port adapter, you can use up to four RJ-45 connections.
Note RJ-45 cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from outside
commercial cable vendors.
Connect RJ-45 cables to the 4E port adapter as follows:
Step 1 Attach the Category 5 UTP cable directly to the RJ-45 port on the 4E port adapter. (See
Figure 29.)
The 4E port adapter is an end station device and not a repeater. You must connect the 4E
port adapter to a repeater or hub.

Note VIP configurations using only one 4E port adapter and a port adapter blank, or two 4E port
adapters, are currently not supported. The FE-TX and 4E port adapters have a handle attached, but
this handle is not shown to allow a full view of detail on each port adapter’s faceplate.
