Connecting to a 100Base-T Ethernet Network

To make a 100Base-T Ethernet LAN connection, you need the following additional equipment (not included):

•An Ethernet hub (such as a Cisco Micro Hub)

•An Ethernet UTP cable that meets the following specifications:

–RJ-45 (male) to RJ-45 (male) straight-through cable.

–100-ohm category 5 cable not longer than 328 feet (100 meters).

You can identify a straight-through Ethernet cable either by using a cable tester or by making a visual inspection. To make a visual inspection, hold the two ends of a cable side by side, with the tab for each at the back.

•The wire connected to the left-most pin (pin 1) on one connector should be the same color as the wire connected to the left-most pin on the other connector.

•The same rule applies to pins 2 through 8 on each connector. The color of the wire attached to a pin on one connector should match the color of the wire attached to the corresponding pin on the other connector.
