Physical Connection Requirements

To connect each one of the IntraPort Enterprise-8’s Ethernet interfaces to twisted-pair Ethernet cabling, you will need one unshielded twisted-pair station cable that is connected to a 10BaseT-compatible twisted-pair hub (for a transmit speed of 10 Mbps) or a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet hub (for a transmit speed of 100 Mbps).

ϖNote: Ethernet cables and cable connectors are not supplied with the IntraPort Enter- prise-8. Category 5 cabling is required for 100 BaseT operation. Please contact your reseller or your Compatible Systems representative for information on obtaining the correct Ethernet cabling supplies.
