The PA-8E port adapter provides up to eight IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10BaseT interfaces. Each Ethernet 10BaseT interface allows a maximum bandwidth of 10 Mbps, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 80 Mbps. All eight ports run at line (wire) speed. The interface connectors on the PA-8E are eight individual RJ-45 receptacles. You can use all eight connectors simultaneously. Each connector supports IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet 10BaseT interfaces compliant with appropriate standards. The RJ-45 connectors require external transceivers. The PA-8E includes ENABLED LED, standard on all port adapters, and one status LED for each port. After system initialization, the ENABLE LED lights to indicate that the PA-8E has been enabled for operation.
