Token Ring Connections

The Cisco 2612 provides both an Ethernet interface and a Token Ring shielded UTP interface. The
Cisco 2613 provides a single Token Ring interface. (See
The IEEE has established Token Ring as standard IEEE 802.5. Specifications indicate a maximum
segment distance of 328 feet (100 meters) for UTP cabling.
To ensure agency compliance with FCC Class B electromagnetic emissions requirements (EMI),
Note
make sure that you use the shielded RJ-45 Token Ring cable when connecting your router to your
Token Ring network.

100BASE-T—2-pair Category 5 or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) straight-through RJ-45 cable.
10BASE2—Ethernet on thin coaxial cable, also known as thin Ethernet. The maximum segment
distance is 607 feet (186 meters).
10BASE5—Ethernet on thick coaxial cable, also known as thick Ethernet. The maximum segment
distance is 1,640 feet (500 meters).
10BASE-T—Ethernet on UTP cable. The maximum segment distance is 328 feet (100 meters). UTP
cables look like the wiring used for ordinary telephones; however, UTP cables meet certain
electrical standards that telephone cables do not meet.
