Ethernet NIC Connectors and Cables
The Ethernet connectors on the four-port 10/100 Ethernet NICs are RJ-45 connectors. Use a
straight-through cable to connect the NIC to a 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps hub or switch or a
crossover cable to connect directly to a host.
Use ANSI TIA/EIA-568-A/B compliant (Cat 5 or Cat 5e) unshielded twisted pair cable. You can
order appropriate adapter cables separately from a cable vendor of your choice.
Caution
Cables that connect to the Ethernet NIC must be ANSI TIA/EIA-568-A/B compliant (Cat
5 or Cat 5e) to prevent potential data loss.
Figure 12 shows the pin assignments for the RJ-45 cable. The connector is numbered from right
to left, with the copper tabs facing up and toward you.
