For 1000BASE-T or 100BASE-TX, your network cable must be Category 5,
twisted-pair cabling. If you plan to run the adapter at 1000 Mbps, it must be
connected to a compatible 1000-Mbps switch.
For 10BASE-T, use Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair cabling. If you want to use this
adapter in a residential environment, you must use a Category 5 cable.
