Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45
connections: 100Ω Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections, 100Ω Category 5
cable for 100Mbps, or 100Ω Category 5e/above cable for 1000Mbps connections.
The cable between the switch and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.)
must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
