The OCe14102B-NT and OCe14102B-UT adapters can be connected with an unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) copper cable (commonly referred to
as a Category or 'CAT' cable).
The cable and connector specifications are listed in Table 3-6.
To attach devices to the adapter:
1. Connect one end of the CAT cable to the 10GBase-T adapter.
