    Cables and Connectors The MR9600-100 supports Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables. Cat 5 UTP cable uses the same RJ-45 connector used with 10BASE-T, wired in the same configuration. Please note that the punch- down blocks in the wiring closet must also be Category 5 certified.

  • Page 13: Network

    technology such as stackable hubs, coupled with the decreasing cost of switches, bridges, and routers, allow the design of low-cost, efficient Fast Ethernet workgroups and enterprise LANs. The following factors strongly influence the architecture of Fast Ethernet networks: • The EIA/TIA 568 Wiring Standard imposes a 100 meter limit on horizontal runs of twisted-pair cables; that is, connections from the wiring closet to the end-station.

  • Page 14: Benefits Of Switching

    MR9600-100 User Guide The difference between switched Ethernet (10Mbps, 100Mbps, or both) and traditional Ethernet is analogous to the difference between a private phone line and a party line. With switched Ethernet, each workgroup has a “private line” so that transmitted packets don’t have to wait as long to gain access to the network.
