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. Statement 1021
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 jack wall plate or to an RJ-45
port on a UTP concentrator or hub, depending on your network configuration.
Observe the following cabling restrictions for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and
1000BASE-T networks:
For 10BASE-T networks, use Category 3 or greater wiring and connectors.
•
For 100BASE-TX and 1000 BASE-T networks, use Category 5 or greater
•
wiring and connectors.
•
The maximum cable run length (from a workstation to a concentrator) is 328
feet (ft) or 100 meters (m).
For 10BASE-T networks, the maximum number of daisy-chained
•
concentrators on one network segment is four.
To avoid line interference, put voice and data lines in separate sheaths.
