Depending on building codes, different insulation materials may be
required. Plenum-rated or TEFLON-coated wiring may be required in
some areas.
■
The wire gauge should be between 18 and 26 AWG. (Most telephone
installations use 24-gauge wiring.)

Installing New Wire
If you are installing the repeater where no wiring is present, or if existing
wiring does not meet the above specifications, install new wiring. The new
wiring should conform to national and local electrical wiring code
requirements and meet the above specifications. When installing wire, it is a
good idea to install extra pairs of wire for future expansion.
If you are unfamiliar with wiring installation or the applicable local electrical
wiring code or the 10Base-T/100Base-TX specification, you should have a
professional, licensed (if applicable) installer perform the installation.
Straight-through twisted-pair cable is typically used to connect a repeater to a
server or workstation. In a straight-through connection, Pin 1 at the repeater
connects to Pin 1 at the server, Pin 2 at the repeater connects to Pin 2 at the
server, and so on. Figure 2-1 shows the locations of pins on a standard RJ-45
plug on a twisted-pair cable.
