• For the Ethernet Cable, use noise-resistant twisted-pair cable for
10BASE-T.
• For the hub (line concentrator) required for implementing a
network, use a switching hub where possible. FANUC
recommends a switching hub of which modular connector has no
metal shield. This is prevent noise from entering the network
from the backbone.
• Perform cabling so that the hub and Ethernet cables make good

For example, install the hub and cables as follows:

angles.
• The installation environment of the hub must conform the
specification defined by the manufacturer of the hub. For
example, the hub must be installed in a vibration-free, dust-proof
place.
• Sufficient measures should be taken to prevent noise.
CAUTION
The customer is responsible for purchasing cables
and hubs. Make Provisions to protect yourself in
the event of a hub failure, by purchasing spare
parts.
