CHAPTER 4
Connecting IP Devices to an IP Network
An IP network requires infrastructure such as Ethernet cable, routers, switches, or Wi-Fi hotspots in
order to work. The following topics discuss the fundamentals of such a network.
Connecting the IP Network
There are two methods to connect a device to an IP Network:
£ Wired.
£ Wireless.
Wired Network Cable Requirements
Wired networks use commonly available Cat 5e structural cabling fitted with RJ‑45 connectors. If you
make your own patch cable, use Category 5e cable and crimp the RJ‑45 connectors at both ends of
the cable either as T568A or T568B.
Parameter Details
Media
Cat 5e Cable; four (4) pairs of wires with RJ-45 Connectors (standard straight
patch cable)
RJ-45 Pin Configuration
Straight-through wiring. Crimp connectors as per T568A or T568B (both cable
ends must be crimped the same way).
Characteristic impedance 100-130 Ohms
Distributed capacitance Less than 100 pF per meter (30 pF per foot)
Maximum Cat 5e Cable length between IP
devices
328 ft. (100 m) maximum.
Polarity Polarity sensitive
Multi-drop
The ECY-STAT has one RJ-45 female RJ-45 connector that provides IP packet
switching to support follow-on devices.
EOL terminations Not applicable
