These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at the user’s own expense.

Canadian Regulations

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise for digital apparatus set out on the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

100BASE-TX Cable and Connector Specifications

The physical characteristics of the 100BASE-TX cable must meet or exceed IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX specifications.

100BASE-TX CABLE SPECIFICATIONS

Category 5 wire or better is required. Either shielded twisted pair (STP) or unshielded twisted pair (UTP) can be used. DO NOT USE FLAT OR SILVER SATIN WIRE.

Category 5:

 

Gauge

24 to 22 AWG

Attenuation

20 dB/1000’ @ 10 MHz

Impedance

100 Ω ±10% @ 10 MHz

Maximum Cable Distance:

100 meters (330 feet)

100BASE-TX CONNECTOR CHARACTERISTICS:

The 100BASE-TX connectors are standard RJ-45 connectors with standard pinning.

The two active pairs in a 100BASE-TX network are pins 1 & 2 and pins 3 & 6. Use only dedicated wire pairs (such as blue/white & white/blue, orange/white & white/orange) for the active pins. 100BASE-TX cable for unlike devices (such as hub to terminal device) must be configured as straight through; 100BASE-TX cable for like devices (such as hub to hub or terminal device to terminal device) must be configured as crossover.
