TP cable termination
It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cables, and that
they be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet
links use Category (CAT) 5e or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with
RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length 328'
(100 m).
Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables
will not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.
Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can
occur.
The cable used depends on your network speed. The MKP
supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps
(100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex,
Ethernet connections.
• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable as a
minimum.
• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP
cable as a minimum.
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable
or a crossover cable and must be properly terminated for your
application (figure 2-11).
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the MKP
and a host computer or an Ethernet-enabled matrix
switcher (figure 2-9).
• Patch (straight) cable — Network connection between
the MKP and an Ethernet LAN (figure 2-10).
