LAN Cable Connection

The LAN cable must be properly attached to a functioning network for the adapter to operate. 100 Mbps connections require Category 5 cabling. here are two ways to connect the system using twisted pair: (1) system to system; (2) direct system to hub or switch. You can connect your adapter directly to another system with a null cable. A null cable, or crossover cable, “crosses over” transmit and receive pairs.

You can connect your adapter directly to a hub or switch with an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. Make certain that the cable length is within the minimum and maximum length restrictions for Ethernet, or you could experience signal or data loss.
