the cable for UTP; and 100x the diameter of the
cable for fiber.
• Avoid letting the cable twist too much to
prevent excessive strain on internal cables.
• Place cable ties at regular intervals, being
careful not to overtighten them. Avoid
using ties with fiber cable.
• Don’t stretch cable, especially around
corners, in vertical cable trays and when spanning long distances.
Cable Selection
Use 100 Ohm Category 5, 5e or 6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded
twisted-pair (STP) cable for 1000Base-T configurations, referring to the
pin assignments below as needed.
NOTE:
All Category 5 UTP
cable used for 100Base-TX
connections should also work
for 1000Base-T providing all
four wire pairs are connected.
It is recommended, however,
that Cat6 cable be used for all
critical or new installations.
Positioning the Converter
The location of the converter during operation can greatly affect its

Try to
maintain
a bend
radius of
(min.) 4x
the diameter
of the cable
for UTP and
100x for fiber.
Try not to
allow the
cable to
twist too
much - this
creates a
strain on
the internal
cables.
Place cable ties
at regular
interval s - do
not over tighten
cable ties - try
to avoid using
with fiber.
Do not stretch
the cable
especially on
corners, in
vertical cable
trays and when
spanning long
distances.
