Ethernet (TP) cable termination

It is vital that you use the correct Ethernet cables, and that they
be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links
use Category (CAT) 5, 5e or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with
RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to 328' (100 m).

CAUTION

Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone
cables do not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

Do not stretch or bend cables. This can cause
transmission errors.

The cable you use depends on your network speed. The MKP
supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps
(100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex,
Ethernet connections.

10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 5 UTP or STP cable as a
minimum

100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP
cable as a minimum

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable
or a crossover cable. It must be terminated properly for your
application (figure 2-16).
