11-11 Connecting network cable to the ColorPASS

Ethernet connection

For connecting to Ethernet, the ColorPASS supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling, defined as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT; or as Category 3, Category 4, or Category 5 for use with 10BaseT. The cable uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the ColorPASS.

NOTE: The 100BaseT type supported by the ColorPASS is 100BaseTX, also known as Fast Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. The term “100BaseT” is used to refer to 100BaseTX.

TO CONNECT TO THE ETHERNET BOARD:

•Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the back of the ColorPASS.

A Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable network cable must be used for 100BaseT.
