Notebook PC User Manual
Using a twisted-pair cable
The cable used to connect the Notebook PC to a host (generally a
Hub or Switch) is called a straight-through Twisted Pair Ethernet
(TPE). The end connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which are
not compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors. If connecting two
computers together without a hub in between, a crossover LAN
cable is required (Fast-Ethernet model).
The following illustration shows you how to connect the Notebook
PC to a local area network (LAN).
