Twisted Pair Cable Termination
NOTES:
• RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, CAT 6, CAT 6e, and CAT 7 cable
must comply with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standard for all
connections.
• The transmitter and receiver pair work with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cables; but to ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance,
STP cables are required.
• Terminate both ends of the cable identically, in accordance with either the
TIA/EIA T 568A or the TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standard.
Figure 34 shows the recommended termination of TP cables with RJ-45 connectors.
