APPENDIX B: CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS

This appendix provides information about the RJ-45 plug and the RJ-45 connector used for the NETGEAR Model FS518T Fast Ethernet Switch with Gigabit uplinks.

RJ-45 Plug and Vista RJ-45 Connector

In a Fast Ethernet network, it is important that all 100BASE-T certified Category 5 cabling use RJ-45 plugs. The RJ-45 plug accepts 4-pair UTP or shielded twisted pair (STP) 100 ohm cable and connects into the vista RJ-45 connector.

The vista RJ-45 connector is used to connect stations, hubs, and switches through UTP cable; it supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps data transmission.

The RJ-45 plug and vista RJ-45 connector are both illustrated in Figure B-1.
