To install the adapter to Ethernet (10BaseT) network you need a UTP or STP cable
with RJ 45 plugs.
Specifications and Recommendations for 10BASE-T Ethernet Cabling
• RJ-45 cabling is also known as Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE) or Unshielded Twisted
Pair (UTP) 10BASE-T.
• The cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T standards 2-pair, Category 3 or
higher, UTP cable.
• The cable between the adapter and the hub must be no more than 100 meters (328 feet)
and no less than 2.5 meters (8 feet).
• IMPORTANT: Pins 1 and 2 must be a pair, and pins 3 and 6 must be a pair.
