Connecting the Network Cable

Category 5 UTP cable qualifies for both, the Fast Ethernet

and Ethernet, cabling rules. The maximum length of any

single cable run between any station and its supporting hub

is 100 meters. The maximum length of a cable joining two

hubs is 10m in general, but is 100m when both hubs qualify

as Ethernet Class 2 Repeaters (all D-Link Ethernet hubs do

qualify). However, these cable runs may need to be shorter

than the given individual maximum lengths, because their

lengths are globally restricted by the rule that the

maximum aggregated cable run between any two stations is

205m.

Category 5 UTP cable is required for Fast Ethernet

operation. The maximum cable run between the DFE-

530TX and the supporting hub is 100m. The cable must be

straight (not a crossover cable), with an RJ-45 plug at each

end. Make the network connection by plugging one end of

the cable into the RJ-45 jack of the DFE-530TX, and the

other end into a port of the supporting hub.
