Network Cable Requirements
The NIC connector attaches an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet
cable to your system. Press one end of the UTP cable into the NIC
connector until the cable snaps securely into place. Connect the other end
to an RJ45 jack wall plate or to an RJ45 port on a UTP concentrator or hub,
depending on your network configuration.
Dell recommends the use of Category 5 wiring and connectors for our
customers’ networks.
