Ethernet Cable	The Ethernet cable uses an RJ-45 connector and category 5 twisted pair cable.
	The Router 3000 series routers provide a fixed 10/100BASE-TX fast Ethernet port
	that uses category-5 twisted pair cable, as shown in Figure 29

The Ethernet cables are classified as straight-through network cable and crossover network cable. They have the following features:

■Straight-through network cable — The sequences of the wires crimped at the RJ-45 connectors of the two ends are the same. The cable is used in the connection between a terminal device, such as a PC or a router, and the Hub or
