Cabling
Each 10/100/1000Base-T ports use RJ-45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks --
for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3 / 802.3u
802.3ab Fast / Gigabit Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps
100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks can use Cat.3, 4, 5 or 1000Base-T use 5/5e/6 UTP
(see table below). Maximum distance is 100meters (328 feet).
