100 Mbps Connection

For 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks, the adapter supports

Category 5 UTP cabling. To establish a valid 100 Mbps connection,

the cable must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub.

1. Make sure that the plug on the cable is wired appropriately for

a standard 100BASE-TX adapter.

2. Align the RJ-45 plug on the end of the UTP cable with the

notch on the adapter's connector and insert it into the adapter

connector as shown in Figure 3-5.

Figure 3-6 Connecting 100BASE-TX Cable

Note: The UTP wire pairs and configuration for 100BASE-TX

cable are identical to those for 10BASE-T cable when used with

Category 5 UTP cable. The straight through connection should be

made from the adapter through the cable and connectors to the hub.

Refer to Appendix A.2 for RJ-45 connector pin assignments.
