*Distance specifications are approximate, based upon connecting a 5100 Transmitter to a 5100 Receiver, and are not guaranteed.
CSI cannot estimate or guarantee operating loss budgets when the 5100 Series is used with other, non-Fiberlink devices.
Operating loss budget must not be exceeded.

Ethernet Cable
The Fiberlink 5100 Series is compatible with standard Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP cable. A cat-
egory 5 cable consists of four pairs of wires; two pairs are used for 10/100 transmission. The
RJ-45 connector consists of 8 pins which are used for 10/100 transmission as follows:
