Revision 2.1
2.1.1. Ethernet Connection Control
The 7880IPG-NAT is designed to be used with either 10Base-T (10 Mbps), 100Base-TX (100 Mbps)
also known as
Fast Ethernet
cabling systems. When connecting for 10Base-T systems, category 3, 4,
or 5 UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable as well as EIA/TIA – 568 100
Ω
STP (shielded twisted pair)
cable may be used. When connecting for 100Base-TX systems, category 5 UTP cable or better is
required. When connecting for 1000Base-T system, category 5, 5e, 6, or 7 UTP cable is required. The
cable must be “straight-through” with a RJ-45 connector at each end. Make the network connection by
plugging one end of the cable into the RJ-45 receptacle of the 7880IPG-NAT and the other end into a
port of the supporting switch or directly to a computer.
The straight-through RJ-45 cable can be purchased or can be constructed using the pin out information
in Table 2-1 or Table 2-2 for the current RJ-45 standards (AT&T 258A, EIA/TIA 568A or EIA/TIA 568B -
colour coding listed). Also refer to the notes following the table for additional wiring guide information.

Table 2-1: 10BaseT and 100BaseT Straight Through Wiring Connections
Note the following cabling information for this wiring guide:
•
On 10Base-T and 100Base-T, only two pairs of wires are used in the 8-pin RJ-45 connector to carry
Ethernet signals. Even though pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 are not used, it is mandatory that they be present
in the cable
•
Pairs may be solid colours and not have a stripe
•
Category 5 cable must use Category 5 rated connectors
