10BASE-T Connector Specification
The 10BASE-T connector located on the back panel of the Ethernet Adapter (see Figure 11, above) is wired like a cabling hub and connects to any Ethernet Network Interface Card using a standard 10BaseT cable. Standard 10BASE-T specifications apply to the 10BASE-T interface of the Ethernet Adapter. No segment can exceed 100 meters.
If you intend to plug the Ethernet Adapter directly into a cabling hub, you must use a 10BASE-T cross-over cable. A cross-over cable differs from a standard 10BASE-T cable in that pins 1 and 3 and pins 2 and 6 are crossed. Figure 12 below demonstrates the pinout for a 10BASE-T cross-over cable.
