cabling, you will need one unshielded twisted-pair station cable that is connected to a
10BaseT-compatible twisted-pair hub (for a transmit speed of 10 Mbps) or a 100Mbps Fast
Ethernet hub (for a transmit speed of 100 Mbps).
v Note: Ethernet cables and cable connectors are not supplied with the IntraPort Enter-
