NOTE

100BASE-T4 devices use

4-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cabling. 100BASE-TX devices use 2-pair Category 5 UTP cabling.

Connecting Cables to the Hub

Connect devices directly to ports on the Express 100BASE-T4 Stackable Hub or to ports on installed uplink modules. This illustration shows how to connect a UTP cable to an RJ-45 connector and a fiber optic cable to an SC connector.

If your stack combines Intel Express 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-T4 Stackable Hubs, make sure you attach the appropriate device (TX or T4) to each type of hub. If you attach the wrong type of device to a hub, that device won’t function properly, and the hub may malfunction.
