Lantronix LFH8-M manual Installation, LFH4-M 100BASE-TX Network Example

Not only does 100BASE-TX have a different data transmission scheme, it also has different cabling requirements. As previously noted, 100BASE-TX requires data-grade (Category 5) UTP cable.

Some installations have Category 5 cabling but do not have wall outlets and wiring closet punch-down blocks that meet Category 5 require- ments. 100BASE-TX requires that all wiring and accessories meet EIA/TIA 568B specifications for proper operation. When wiring a 100BASE-TX network, make sure that the entire cable plant meets specifications.
