The cable used depends on your network speed. The unit supports:
• 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) — Requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
• 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet) — Requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at
minimum.
• 1000 Mbps (1000Base-T — IEEE 802.3ab) half-duplex and full-duplex
Ethernet — Requires CAT 5, CAT 5e, CAT 6, or CAT 7 UTP or STP cable.
RJ-45 connector wiring
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and
must be properly terminated for your application (see figure 4).
