Ethernet cable connection

The Fiery X2 supports Ethernet cabling of three types:
• Thinnet (thin coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base2)
Uses an external transceiver to attach to the AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) con-
nector on the Ethernet interface of the Fiery X2.
• Thicknet (thick coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base5)
Connects directly to the AUI connector on the Ethernet interface of the Fiery X2.
• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) defined as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT, or as
Category 3 or Category 5 for use with 10BaseT.
Uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the Fiery X2.
The 100BaseT type supported by the Fiery X2 is 100BaseTX, also known as
N :
OTE
Fast Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. The term
"100BaseT" is used to refer to 100BaseTX.
