Ethernet cabling specifications
This section describes guidelines for using 10BaseT twisted-pair cabling:
•
Recommended cable is 22 to 26 AWG category 3 or category 5 unshielded solid copper
twisted pair (standard telephone wire), at least Level 2 (two twists per foot).
•
Maximum distance of a segment—from concentrator to node—is 100 meters (328 feet).
•
Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) are available with built-in 10BaseT transceivers
and a 15-pin AUI port.
•
Devices with standard AUI ports may be attached by using a twisted-pair transceiver
(MAU).
