RJ-45 Network Ports
RJ-45 Network Ports can connect 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 metres.
