The E-8100 provides twisted pair connectivity to an Ethernet network. When the network
cable is connected, the Ethernet interface automatically detects the speed of the network
environment. Depending on your network speed, the following unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) network cables are supported:
• For 10BaseT, Category 3 or higher
• For 100BaseTX, Category 5 or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short-length)
• For 1000BaseT, Category 5e or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short-length)
