Cabling; Rj-45 Connector Wiring - Extron electronics FOX 4G Matrix 14400 User Manual

Cabling

It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cable type and that they be
properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 5e
or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables,
terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of
328' (100 m).
N Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet.
Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
The cable used depends on your network speed. The switcher supports both
10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet),
half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections.
• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.

RJ-45 connector wiring

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover
cable and must be properly terminated for your application (figure 2-5).
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the
FOX 4G Matrix 14400 switcher
• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the FOX 4G Matrix 14400 switcher to
an Ethernet LAN
