Cabling Requirements
100Base-TX requires data-grade (Category 5) UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
cable.
▲
Important:
Some installations have Category 5 cabling but
do not have wall outlets and/or wiring closet punch-down
blocks that meet Category 5 requirements.
100Base-TX requires that all wiring and accessories meet EIA/
TIA 568B specifications for proper operation. When wiring a
100Base-TX network, make sure that the entire cable plant
meets specifications.
Voltage Requirements
▲
Important:
Check the AC power line voltage used in your
area. The AC power adapter included with your hub must
match the power supply voltage used in your area.
❏
AC input power:
Equal to the AC power voltage used in
your area.
