Appendix B Cabling Guidelines
UTP Cable Type
When installing network cables, the following table shows appropriate cabling
guidelines for 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet architecture.
Table B-1 Network Cable Guidelines
(NOTE: All UTP cables come in both solid and stranded lament. Solid
lament cables are more rigid and usually intended for trunk cabling.
Stranded lament cables are more pliable and generally targeted for patch
cables. For proper termination, use the correct RJ-45 connector, as they
differ for each type of cable.)
UTP Cable Wiring
UTP cables are wired based on one of two standard pin congurations: Straight-
Through and Cross-Over. 100BASE-TX uses only Category-5 UTP cables with
four pairs of wire as illustrated below in Tables B-2 and B-3.
