All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also
work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However,
for all critical connections, or for any new cable installations, we recommend that
you use Category 6 cable.
The converter’s 1000BASE-T RJ-45 Ethernet port fully supports autosensing and
autonegotiation. Follow the steps below to connect copper cable to the converter.
1. Insert one end of Category 5 twisted-pair cable into the converter’s RJ-45 port.
Plug the cable’s other end into a network node’s RJ-45 port.
2. Check the converter’s corresponding LNK LED to make sure that the
connection is detected.
