Physical Connection Requirements

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.
