D-Link DFE-530TX+ - Manual (Page 16)

DFE-5307X lO/lOOMbps Ethernet Adapter for PC/ Bus
Connect the Network Cable
Category 5 UTP cable qualifies for both, the Fast Ethernet
and Ethernet, cabling rules. The maximum length of any
single cable run between any station and its supporting
hub is 100 meters. The maximum length of a cable joining
two hubs is 10m in general, but is 1OOm when both hubs
qualify as Ethernet Class 2 Repeaters (all D-Link Ethernet
hubs do qualify). However, these cable runs may need to be
shorter than the given individual maximum lengths,
because their lengths are globally restricted by the rule
that the maximum aggregated cable run between any two
stations is 205m.
Connecting for Fast Ethernet (1OOMbps)
Category 5 UTP cable is required for Fast Ethernet
operation. The maximum cable run between the DFE-
53OTX and the supporting hub is 100m. The cable must be
straight (not a crossover cable), with an RJ-45 plug at each
end. Make the network connection by plugging one end of
the cable into the RJ-45 jack of the DFE-530TX, and the
other end into a port of the supporting hub.
