the GND terminal. For best performance, use shielded cabling. Shielded cabling may be
used to provide further protection.

Maximum cable length: 100 meters (328 ft.) for 10/100/1000BaseT.
Replace the dust plug on the slot if you are not installing a transceiver. The dust
plug protects hardware from dust contamination.
