Ethernet NIC Connectors and Cables
The Ethernet connectors on the four-port 10/100 Ethernet NICs are RJ-45
connectors. Use a straight-through or crossover cable to connect the NIC to a
10-Mbps or 100-Mbps hub or switch or to connect directly to a host. An auto-
detect crossover cable feature on this NIC automatically detects the correct
cable type.
Use ANSI TIA/EIA-568-A/B compliant (Cat 5 or Cat 5e) unshielded twisted
pair cable. You can order appropriate adapter cables separately from a cable
vendor of your choice.
Caution
Cables that connect to the Ethernet card must be ANSI TIA/EIA-568-
A/B compliant (Cat 5 or Cat 5e) to prevent potential data loss.
Figure 14
shows the pin assignments for the RJ-45 cable. The connector is
numbered from right to left, with the copper tabs facing up and toward you.
