Cabling Recommendations
Table A-2 and Table A-3 list the supported cable types.
If you are installing new cabling for data applications, IBM recommends that you
use the following types of cable:
¹
For lobe cabling from the telecommunications closet to the wall outlet, IBM
recommends 150-ohm, STP or four-pair category 5 cable that meets the
international cable standard (ISO/IEC 11801) or the North American cabling
standard (EIA/TIA 568A).
¹
For backbone cabling, IBM recommends 62.5/125-micron, multimode, optical
fiber cable that meets the international cable standard (ISO/IEC 11801) or the
North American cabling standard (EIA/TIA 568A).
