 CATx Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable with two RJ45 connectors (if using surface cabling),

or CATx cabling with two information outlets and two CAT5ee patch cords with RJ45
connectors (if using premise cabling).

 For optimum performance, the CATx cable should be run straight and not coiled, and not

routed close to electrical cables. Pin cables according to T568A/T568B.

All references to CATx cable in this document refer to solid-core cable (CAT5e UTP or better) and
represents the minimum CATx specification requirements. CAT6 or shielded (STP) cables may be
substituted. Use of CATx patch-cables will reduce the recommended cable extension distances.
