Recommended products
The following products are recommended for use with the Ethernet Option
Board.
Precautions on Laying Twisted-pair Cable
Basic Precautions • Press the cable connector in firmly until it locks into place at both the hub
and the Ethernet Option Board.
• After laying the twisted-pair cable, check the connection with a 10Base-T
cable tester.
Environment Precautions • The UTP cable is not shielded, and the hub is designed for use in OA
environments. In environments subject to noise, construct a system with
shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable and hubs suitable for an FA environ-
ment.
