Connect to the Network The computers connect to the Ethernet network using CAT5 or CAT5E
twisted-pair Ethernet cabling with RJ45 connectors.
The computers support 10/100 Mbps network communication.
IMPORTANT
To prevent performance degradation of Ethernet
communication, do not subject the computer or cables to
extreme radiated or conducted high-frequency noise.
Proper cable routing and power conditioning is required to be
sure of reliable Ethernet communication in industrial
environments. Rockwell Automation recommends that you
route all Ethernet cabling through dedicated metal conduits.
Installing ferrite bead filters at the cable ends may also improve
reliability.
