Ethernet Straight-Through Cables and Crossover
Cables
Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors should be used.
Cable length is reduced for an unshielded cable to 3m (9.8 ft) at the most.
Cables in lengths ranging from 3 m (9.8 ft) to 100 m (328 ft.) must be shielded,
otherwise EMC compliance cannot be guaranteed
. The cables must be compli-
ant with the IEEE 802.3:1998 Ethernet standard. See Table 10 on p. 74 for
details.
EIA/TIA-568 standard is the basis for Cat 5/Cat 6 cable wiring scheme. Whether
you are using striped twisted pair or solid color twisted pair, follow the appropri-
ate wiring diagrams according to 568B as shown in
Table 11 on p. 75 to
Table 13 on p. 76 .
