Cabling Requirements
This section describes the type of cabling required for various types of
connections.
100Base-TX requires the use of data-grade Category 5 UTP (unshielded
twisted-pair) cable. Category 3 wiring may be used for 10Base-T.
▲ Important! Some installations have Category 5 cabling but
do not have wall outlets and/or wiring closet punch-down
blocks that meet Category 5 requirements.
▲ Important! 100Base-TX requires that all wiring and acces-
sories meet EIA/TIA 568 specifications for proper opera-
tion. When wiring a 100Base-TX network, make sure that
the entire cable plant meets specifications.
1000Base-SX (via Gigabit module) requires dual 62.5/125 micron graded-
index multimode fiber-optic cable with an SC connector.
100Base-FX (via MII module) requires dual 62.5/125 micron graded-index
multimode fiber-optic cable with an SC connector.
