Operating Specifications; Hubstack Interconnect Cables; Tcu And Com Ports - Cabletron Systems STHI User Manual

• UTP cables that contain Token Ring signals should not be
simultaneously used for applications which may impress high
voltages (greater than 5 volts) with sharp rise or fall times, since the
noise coupling from such signals could directly cause errors on the
Token Ring network.
• Where practical, dedicated cable should be used for Token Ring
signals.
• Work area wall plates and outlets used for the Token Ring network
should be clearly labeled as Token Ring network lobe connections.
