UTP cable specifications
The NC375T adapter can use existing UTP CAT5 (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit Ethernet over
copper, according to the IEEE 802.3ab specifications. For new installations, CAT5e (enhanced CAT5)
cable is recommended.
Maximum distances for Gigabit over copper cable are 100 meters (328 feet).
To connect to the network, the NC375T uses the following cable for 1000Base-T transmission:
•
CAT5 UTP or better twisted-pair
•
22-26 AWG, 100
Ω
@ 1 MHz
•
EIA/TIA 568a or EIA/TIA 568b
