100BASE-TX Cable and Connector Specifications

The physical characteristics of the 100BASE-TX cable must meet or
exceed IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX specifications. 

100BASE-TX CABLE SPECIFICATIONS
Category 5 wire or better is required. Either shielded twisted pair
(STP) or unshielded twisted pair (UTP) can be used. DO NOT USE
FLAT OR SILVER SATIN WIRE.

Category 5:

Gauge

24 to 22 AWG

Attenuation 

20 dB/1000’ @ 10 MHz

Impedance 100 

±10% @ 10 MHz 

Maximum Cable Distance:

100 meters (330 feet)

100BASE-TX CONNECTOR CHARACTERISTICS:
The 100BASE-TX connectors are standard RJ-45 connectors with
standard pinning.

The two active pairs in a 100BASE-TX network are pins 1 & 2 and
pins 3 & 6. Use only dedicated wire pairs (such as blue/white &
white/blue, orange/white & white/orange) for the active pins.
100BASE-TX cable for unlike devices (such as hub to terminal
device) must be configured as straight through; 100BASE-TX cable
for like devices (such as hub to hub or terminal device to terminal
device) must be configured as crossover.

NOTE: MDI/MDI-X connectors on hubs allow straight-through
cable to be used in a crossover configuration for hub to hub
connection.
