10BASE-T Network

When connecting a 10BASE‐TX segment to one of the RJ45 fixed ports (1 through 24 on A2H124‐24P, 1 through 48 on A2H124‐48P), ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.3‐2002 standard for 10BASE‐TX. Refer to the Cabling Guide for details.

Note: If an RJ45 port is to operate at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used.

Category 3 cabling does not meet the 100 Mbps specifications. Refer to 100BASE-TX

Network (page 2-2) for information about 100BASE-TX networks and cabling.
