TP cable termination

It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cables, and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 5e or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length 328' (100 m).

Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables will not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.

The cable used depends on your network speed. The MKP supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps

(100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex, Ethernet connections.

•10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable as a minimum.

•100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable as a minimum.

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and must be properly terminated for your application (figure 2-11).

• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the MKP

and a host computer or an Ethernet-enabled matrix

switcher (figure 2-9).
