For 1000Base-T or 100Base-TX, you must use Category 5 network cable
(four twisted-pair wiring). If you plan to run the adapter at 1000 Mbps, it
must be connected to a compatible 1000 Mbps switch.
NOTE: Most compatible switches do not support all three speeds
(10/100/1000) on a single port. Refer to the switch documenta-
tion for details.
For 10Base-T, use Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring. Residential
environments require the use of a Category 5 cable.
