Ethernet cables and termination
10BASE-T (Twisted Pair)
Do not use Òsilver satinÓ telephone extension cables for 10BASE-T networks,
either as drop cords or as patch cables in the wiring closet. (Silver satin
cables are ßat, usually silver or gray, with 28-gauge stranded or tinsel
conductors.) Do not use shielded twisted pair cable intended for IBM token
ring networks or voice-grade (level 1 or 2) unshielded twisted pair cable for
wiring runs. These cables do not meet the requirements for 10BASE-T and
will lead to unreliable operation.
10BASE2 (Thin Ethernet)
Depending on the type of Ethernet cables you use and your network
conÞguration, you may need to use terminators at certain points in the
installation. Refer to the documentation for your Ethernet adapters and
cables for details.
Tektronix and Apple 10BASE2 Ethernet adapters have built-in terminators
and do not require additional terminators. Adapters from other
manufacturers may not have built-in terminators and may require
terminators and connectors such as those listed in the following table.
10BASE5 (Thick Ethernet)
Contact your network administrator to obtain an approved AUI drop cable.
