4-6 Cabling Requirements
CAUTION
Do not use structured building wiring or bundled type breakout cables at baud
rates above 38.4K. Separate point to point cables are recommended at baud rates
above 38.4K.
Standard Ethernet Connection Requirements
The transceiver cable must not exceed the maximum distances listed in Table 4-2.
10BASE-T Ethernet Connection Requirements
The 10BASE-T Ethernet installation must conform to the following configuration
rules:
• The twisted-pair cable must not exceed the maximum distance listed in Table 4-3.
• No other signal should be used in the same cable sheath. For example, voice and
data signals cannot be run within the same sheath.
• Unshielded twisted-pair cable must remain at least 30.48 cm (12 in) from any type
of high-voltage power device or electrical noise source.
