Cabling requirements for the Ethernet
Use an RJ-45 to connect the Ethernet port of the EKI-1510X series to the network
hub. The cable for connection should be above Category 3 (for 10Mbps data rate) or
Category 5 (for 100Mbps data rate) UTP/STP cable, which is compliant with EIA/TIA
586 specifications. EKI-1510X series can be connected to other hubs or switches
through a twisted-pair straight through the cable or a crossover cable up to 100m
long.
