NOTE

If you include Intel Express 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-T4 Stackable Hubs in the same stack, make sure you attach only the appropriate devices (TX or T4) to each type of hub.

RJ-45 100BASE-T4 ports

The twelve 100BASE-T4 ports with fixed RJ-45 connectors allow you to connect to 100BASE-T4 network devices. You can use 4-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.

The maximum cable distance between the port and the attached device is 100 meters (328 feet), including all patch cables, panels, and connectors.

The following table lists the pinouts and pin pairings for a 100BASE-T4 hub and a server or workstation.
