UTP cable specifications
The HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 530T adapter can use existing UTP CAT6 (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit
Ethernet over copper, according to the IEEE 802.3an specifications. For new installations, CAT6a cable is
recommended.
Maximum distances for CAT6 cable are 30 meters (98 feet). Maximum distances for CAT6a are 100 meters
(328 feet).
To connect to the network, the HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 530T uses the following cable for 10GBase-T
transmission:
•
CAT6 UTP or better twisted-pair
•
22-26 AWG, 100
Ω
@ 1 MHz
•
EIA/TIA 568-B.2-10b
