This section explains how to connect the GigaNIX 1000TA to the external network using the standard Category 5 cables. The maximum cable length is 100 meters or 328 feet. (The diagram below shows a typical UTP cable used to connect to the GigaNIX 1000TA.)

Insert the Category 5 cable into the UTP connector until the self-locking tab clicks into position. Two types of cables are used when connecting the GigaNIX 1000TA to the network.
