Most high speed connections are made using Ethernet cables. The M3 Sonar FLS must use
T568B termination for RJ45 connections on both ends of the cable.

Ethernet cables are available
commercially in different lengths,
colours and categories. Normally,
CAT-5E and CAT-6 cables are used
in local area networks with bandwidths
exceeding 100 Mbit.
Note
It is very important that high-quality Ethernet cables are used. You must use CAT-5E quality
or better. If you use cables with lower bandwidth capacity you will reduce the M3 Sonar
FLS performance.
For 100Base-TX connections only Orange, Orange-White, Green, and Green-White are
required. No cross-over is required for 100Base-TX direct pier to pier connections with
the M3 Sonar FLS.
Minimum cable requirements
