For public disclosure
The Ethernet port on PLC module IC200CPUE05 connects directly to a 10BaseT (twisted
pair shielded) network without an external transceiver. Connect the port to an external
10BaseT hub or switch or a hub or repeater with autosense of 10/100 using a twisted pair
cable. Cables are readily available from commercial distributors. GE recommends
purchasing rather than making cables. Your 10BaseT twisted pair shielded cables must
meet the applicable IEEE 802 standards.
