Ethernet cables
After determining the need for waterproofing and the type of cable required as described above,
select the specific cables needed:
•
waterproof or not (for each end)
•
crossover or straight through
•
both connectors installed, or one connector not installed for threading through a wiring
tube or bulkhead hole
The maximum cable length between any two devices should not exceed 100 meters.
Using store-bought cables
Non-waterproof cables obtained a local computer store can be used in the situations shown below.
These cables and the units they connect to will be quickly destroyed by exposure to water, so use
them only in completely protected locations. Again, be sure to use only category 5 or category 5e
cables.
