Twisted pair cable
• 10BASE-T
Shielded twisted pair cable (STP) or
unshielded twisted pair cable (UTP):
Category 3, 4, and 5
• 100BASE-TX
Shielded twisted pair cable (STP):
Category 5 and 5e
The destination connected with the twisted pair cable varies with the configuration of the applicable Ethernet network system.
Connect to the Ethernet module, hub, transceiver or other system equipment corresponding to the applicable Ethernet network
system.
Use cables, connectors, and hubs that meet the IEEE802.3 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX standard.
A length between a hub and a node.
The maximum distance differs depending on the Ethernet device to be used.
The following shows the number of the connectable nodes when a repeater hub is used.
• 10BASE-T: Max. 4 nodes for a cascade connection (500m)
• 100BASE-TX: Max. 2 nodes for a cascade connection (205m)
When switching hubs are used, the cascade connection between the switching hubs has no logical limit for the number of
cascades.
For the limit, contact the switching hub manufacturer.
Product manufactured by TOSHIBA Corporation. For details of the product, contact TOSHIBA Corporation.
There is no restriction for the number of GOTs. However, if the number of GOTs increases, the communication becomes high-
loaded, and it may affect the communication performance.
