100 Mbps Connection
For 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks, the adapter supports Cat- egory 5 UTP cabling. To establish a valid 100 Mbps connection, the cable must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub.
1.Make sure that the plug on the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 100BASE-TX adapter.
2.Align the RJ-45 plug on the end of the UTP cable with the notch on the adapter's connector and insert it into the adapter connec- tor as shown in Figure 2-4.
Figure 2-4 Connecting 100BASE-TX Cable
Note: The UTP wire pairs and configuration for 100BASE-TX cable are identical to those for 10BASE-T cable when used with Category 5 UTP cable. The straight through connection should be made from the adapter through the cable and connectors to the hub. Refer to Appendix A.1 for RJ-45 connector pin assignments.
