HP NC360T PCI Express Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter - Manual (Page 12)

Specifications 12
UTP cable specifications
The NC360T adapter can use existing UTP CAT5 (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit Ethernet over
copper, according to the IEEE 802.3ab specifications. For new installations, CAT5e (enhanced CAT5)
cable is recommended.
Maximum distances for Gigabit over copper cable are 100 meters (328 feet).
To connect to the network, the NC360T uses the following cable for 1000Base-T transmission:
• CAT5 UTP or better twisted-pair
• 22-26 AWG, 100 Ω @ 1 MHz
• EIA/TIA 568a or EIA/TIA 568b
RJ-45 pinouts and crossover function
The Ethernet standard also specifies that each segment implement a crossover function to connect the
transmitter of one device to the receiver of a device at the other end, and vice-versa. The crossover
function may be implemented internally at the hub or switch or externally through the twisted-pair media.
10/100 pinouts using internal, straight-through crossover
If the crossover function is implemented internally, the port is labeled MDI-X (Medium Dependent Interface-
Crossover). When an MDI-X port is connected to an MDI port, the twisted pair media should be wired
straight-through using the physical pinouts indicated.
