CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS
This appendix provides information about the RJ-45 plug and the vista RJ-45 connector used
for the 16-Port Fast Ethernet ProSwitch.
RJ-45 Plug
In a Fast Ethernet network, it is important that all 100BASE-T certified Category 5 cabling use
RJ-45 plugs. The RJ-45 plug accepts 4-pair unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted
pair (STP) 100-ohm cable and connects into the vista RJ-45 connector.
The RJ-45 plug connector is illustrated below.
