TECHNICAL GLOSSARY
Category 5e/6/6A (CAT 5e/6/6A) Network Cabling
Category 5e/6/6A cable is commonly also referred to as CAT 5e or CAT 6 or CAT 6A. This cabling is available in either solid
or stranded twisted pair copper wire variants and as UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) or STP (Shielded Twisted Pair).
USB 2.0 Cables
USB 2.0 cables have two distinct full-sized connectors. The Type A connector is used to connect the cable from a USB device
to the Type A port on a computer or hub. The Type B connector is used to attach the USB cable to a USB device.
The Type A cable is used to connect a USB device to the 41910-U2B Receiver.
The Type B cable (provided with the 41910-U2B extender) connects the computer to the Transmitter.
RJ45
The Registered Jack (RJ) physical interface is what connects the network cabling (CAT 5e/6/6A) to the Transmitter and
Receivers. You may use either the T568A scheme (Table 1) or the T568B scheme (Table 2) for cable termination as the
41910-U2B requires all four pairs of the cable. RJ45 connectors are sometimes also referred to as 8P8C connectors.
Note that any given cable must be terminated using the same T568 scheme on both ends to operate correctly.
