Cabling and RJ-45 connector wiring

It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cables, and that they be properly
terminated with the correct pinout.

Choosing a network cable

Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 4, 5, 5e, or 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet
cables are limited to 328' (100 m).
The cable used depends on your network speed. The ISM supports both 10 Mbps
(10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and
full-duplex, Ethernet connections.

Wiring the network cable

The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable (figure 2-8)
and must be properly terminated for your application:

Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables will not support
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.
Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
10Base-T Ethernet requires, at a minimum, CAT 3 UTP or STP cable.
100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires, at a minimum, CAT 5 UTP or STP cable.
Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the ISM to an Ethernet hub, router, or
switcher that also hosts a controlling computer
Crossover cable — Direct connection between the ISM and a controlling
computer
