expansion slot.
RJ-45 100BASE-T4 ports
The twelve 100BASE-T4 ports with fixed RJ-45 connectors allow you
to connect to 100BASE-T4 network devices. You can use 4-pair
Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
The maximum cable distance between the port and the attached device
is 100 meters (328 feet), including all patch cables, panels, and
connectors.
The following table lists the pinouts and pin pairings for a
