Network Cabling Requirements
In order for your network to operate properly, you must use a category of
network cabling that is appropriate for the data rate of the channel. For
10Mb/s operation, Category 3, or 5 cable is appropriate. When operating in
100/1000Mb/s or 100/1000Mb/s Full Duplex, a Category 5 cable should be
used.
The maximum cable segment length supported at 100/1000Mb/sec speed, on
Category 5 cable is 100M. Any single cable segment (adapter to adapter or
adapter to network hub) must be within the 100M length requirement.
