Connector and Cable Details
TP cable termination and recommendations
It is vital that your Ethernet cable be the correct cable type and that it 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 feet (100 meters).
NOTES:
•
A CAT 5e cabling infrastructure is the minimum acceptable to support a NAV
system. Anything less is insufficient.
•
Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
The Ethernet cable must be terminated as a patch (straight-through) cable and must be
properly terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568-B wiring standard (see figure 3).
