Copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC Connectors and Cables

The copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC receptacles are for RJ-45 connectors.
Caution
Cables that connect to the Gigabit Ethernet card must be ANSI TIA/
EIA-568-A/B compliant (Cat 5 or Cat 5e) to prevent potential data
loss.
To connect to a 1-Gbps hub, switch, or router, use a straight-through RJ-45
cable (Cat 5 or Cat 5e type cable, or as required by your network
configuration).
Note
Nokia copper Gigabit Ethernet NICs support cable autosensing. You can
use a straight-through or crossover cable to connect the NIC to a Gigabit
Ethernet hub or switch or to connect directly to a host.
