For PoE, the port should be connected directly to the intended device with no intervening
hubs, routers, switches, or other network equipment.
• Connection to a regular 10/100 Mbps Ethernet segment
This requires a 4- or 8-conductor Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 male
connector. The port detects MDI/MDX and automatically adjusts for straight-through or
crossover cables.
The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters (325 feet).
Cables that run through plenums or air-handling spaces as described in NEC (2002) Article
300.22(C) should be suitable under NEC Article 800.50 and marked accordingly for use in
plenums and air-handling spaces with regard to smoke propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP,
or CMP.
