Caution
Cables that connect to the Gigabit Ethernet NIC must be ANSI TIA/EIA-568-A/B
compliant (Cat 5 or Cat 5e) to prevent potential data loss.
To connect to a 1-Gbps hub, switch, or router, use a straight-through RJ-45 cable (Cat 5 or Cat
5e type cable, or as required by your network configuration).
Note
You can use a straight-through cable to connect the NIC to a Gigabit Ethernet hub or switch
or a crossover cable to connect directly to a host.
In Figure 16 , the RJ-45 cable output connector is numbered from right to left, with the copper
pins facing up and toward you.
