CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION
TWISTED PAIR CABLE
You may use Cat. 3 or better cables for your 10Base-T Ethernet
environment. It is important that the pairings of wires in the
modular plug match the pairs in the modular jack as well as the
horizontal and backbone wiring. If they don’t, the data being
transmitted may be paired with incompatible signals.

INTERCONNECTION GUIDELINES
The Ethernet Hub makes your various types of Ethernet networks
interconnection comes true. Using the hub, you can efficiently
build up and flexibly interconnect twisted-pair Ethernet networks.
Furthermore, having great expansion capability, the hub keeps
your existing coaxial Ethernet system still valuable, capable of
connecting different Ethernet cabling systems together with wide
range of configuration.
No matter what kind of medium and configuration you choose to
build up your network, certain guidelines must be observed.
1. The Distance Guidelines of Twisted-pair Wire, Coaxial
Cable.
Medium Connection Max. Distance
Twisted Pair hub to station 100 meters
Twisted Pair hub to hub 100 meters
Twisted Pair hut to AUI adapter 100 meters
Thin cable hub to hub 185 meters
2. Guidelines for the maximum Ethernet Network Length
A maximum of three to four Ethernet hubs or repeaters may
be attached within the path between any two stations,
according to your network environment.
