Setting up an Ethernet network
We recommend using category 5, unshielded, twisted-pair cable (approximately 1/4” in
diameter with a thin outer-jacket, containing eight color-coded wires), and equipment
compatible with this type of cable. This type of cable is equipped with RJ-45 connectors
(like a large telephone jack connector, but with eight pins) on each end.
