Appendix A Cabling Guidelines This appendix provides specifications for cables used with a NETGEAR GSM7224 Layer 2 Managed Switch. Fast Ethernet Cable Guidelines Fast Ethernet uses UTP cable, as specified in the IEEE 802.3u standard for 100BASE-TX.The specification requires Category 5 UTP cable consisting of either two-pair or four-pair twisted insulated copper conductors bound in a single plastic sheath.
User Manual for the NETGEAR 7200 Series Layer 2 Managed Switch Software Category 5 Cable Category 5 distributed cable that meets ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A building wiring standards can be a maximum of 328 feet (ft.) or 100 meters (m) in length, divided as follows: 20 ft.
