RJ-45 Network ports
The HS800 Wireless Gateway RJ-45 Ethernet port can connect to any networking devices
that use a standard LAN interface, such as a Hub/Switch Hub or Router. Use unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable to connect the networking device to
the RJ-45 Ethernet port. Depending on the type of connection, 10Mbps or 100Mbps, use
the following Ethernet cable, as prescribed.
10Mbps: Use EIA/TIA-568-100-Category 3, 4 or 5 cable.
100Mbps: Use EIA/TIA-568-100-Category 5 cable.
Note: To prevent loss of signal, make sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does
not exceed 100 meters.
