Cabling
It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cable type, and that they be
properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 5e
or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables,
terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328’
(100 m).
N
Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet.
Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
The cable used depends on your network speed. The switcher supports both
10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet),
half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections.
• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.
RJ-45 connector wiring
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover
cable and must be properly terminated for your application (figure 2-10).
•
Crossover cable
— Direct connection between the computer and the
MTPX Plus switcher
•
Patch (straight) cable
— Connection of the MTPX Plus switcher to an
Ethernet LAN
