2-3 Selecting Link Terminal and Cable
Ethernet Network
Use the RJ-45 connector to connect the Ethernet port of the ADAM-
5000/TCP Series to the Hub. The cable for connection should be Category 3
(for10Mbps data rate) or Category 5 (for 100Mbps data rate) UTP/STP
cable, which is compliant with EIA/TIA 586 specifications. Maximum
length between the Hub and any ADAM-5000/TCP Series is up to 100
meters (approx. 300ft)
