Network Cable Requirements
The C/Dock Expansion Station’s RJ45 network connec­

or unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet cable. Press
one end of the UTP cable into the network connector
until the cable snaps securely into place.
Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ45 Jack wall
plate or to an RJ45 port on a UTP concentrator or hub,
depending on your network configuration. Observe the
following cabling restrictions for 10BASE-T and
100BASE-TX networks:
• For 10-Mbps operation, use Category 3 or greater
wiring and connectors. For 100-Mbps operation, use
Category 5 wiring and connections. Voice and data
lines should be in separate sheaths.
• The maximum cable run length (from a workstation
to a concentrator) is 100 meters (m) (328 feet [ft]).
