Appendix C: Cables and Pinouts
Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments
For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires.
Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be
green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be
attached to both ends of the cable.
Caution:
Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific
orientation. (See “Straight-Through Wiring” on page C-2 and “Crossover
Wiring” on page C-2 for an explanation.)
Caution:
DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into the RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair
cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.
The following figure illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are numbered.
Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the wires to
the pins.
Figure C-1 RJ-45 Connector
10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments
Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45
connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or
100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the
length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
The RJ-45 ports on the unit supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can
use straight-through or crossover cables for all network connections to PCs,
switches, or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the
cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the
cable.
