Network Cable Requirements

Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV
circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both
use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
The Ethernet connectors are designed for attaching an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet cable
equipped with standard RJ-45 compatible plugs. Press one end of the UTP cable into the Ethernet
connector until the plug snaps securely into place. Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 port
on a hub or other device, depending on your network configuration. Observe the following cabling
restrictions for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-TX networks:
