l
Using the RJ-45 plug and twisted-pair cable, connect
the network interface card to a 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX hub (concentrator). Note that the
maximum cable length between a hub and any
computer is 100 meters (328 feet).
Max. Nodes per Concentrator : Depends on Concentrator
Max.Cable Lengt h to Concentrator : 100 mete rs ( 328 Feet )
Figure A : Twisted-Pair Cable Connection
Note: Make sure you have the correct wiring. To reliably
operate your network at 100 Mbps, you must use unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) Category 5 or better Data Grade wire.
While Cate gory 3 or 4 wire ma y initially seem to work, it
will soon cause data loss. T he higher speed ne eds higher
quality wire.
For 10 Mbps operation, you can use either UTP Category
3, 4, or 5 Data Grade wire.
