Support for 10BASE-T Network
The Ethernet Port can connect to a 10BASE-T network
10BASE-T is a LAN technology that uses baseband transmission, provides a data transmission
rate of 10 Mbps, and supports single segments of up to 100 meters in length.
This network uses 10BASE-T (Twisted pair cable) as the transmission cable.
The figure below shows the maximum interport separation.
