The port on the 1000BASE-T Ethernet interface card accommodates an RJ-45
straight-through cable. Select cables for this port as follows:
•
For 1000BASE-T operation, use Category 5 four-pair Ethernet wiring. The
cable must comply with the TIA 568 wiring specification. The maximum
recommended cable segment length is 100 meters.
•
For 100BASE-TX operation, use Category 5 twisted-pair wiring: one pair
each for transmit and receive operations. The cable must comply with the
EIA 568 wiring specification. The maximum recommended cable segment
length is 100 meters.
•
For 10BASE-T operation, use Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring.
