Your FC-1ETHN Ethernet Controller

3.2 Achieving the Best Performance

Achieving the best performance means:

Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and positioning your FC-1ETHNaway from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
