• Straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cable may be used.
• Shielded (STP) or unshielded (UTP) twisted-pair cable may be used.
• Pins 1&2 and 3&6 are the two active pairs in an Ethernet network.
• Use only dedicated wire pairs for the active pins:
(
e.g., blue/white & white/blue, orange/white & white/orange, etc.
)
• Do not use flat or silver satin wire.
