10BASE-T ports, CAT 3 may be used. In either case, the maximum distance for
unshielded twisted pair cabling is 100 meters (328 ft).

IEEE Standard Connector
Twisted Pair (CAT 3 or 5) 10BASE-T RJ-45
Twisted Pair (CAT 5)
100BASE-TX RJ-45
NOTE : It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5 cables (which work for both 10 Mbps
and 100Mbps) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a
mixed-speed network, since S14-series switch ports are auto-cross(MDIX) for
either 10 and 100Mbps. Note that the auto-cross function does not operate, if the
port is fixed or not supporting auto-negotiation.
3.8.1
Connecting Twisted Pair (RJ-45, CAT 3 or CAT 5, Unshielded or Shielded)
The following procedure describes how to connect a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX
twisted pair segment to the RJ-45 port. The procedure is the same for both unshielded and
shielded twisted pair cables.
