Ethernet Connection
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the following ports must be connected through an approved network
termination unit with integral circuit protection if the port cabling is routed outdoors: ethernet. Statement 1044
Note
The IEEE has established Ethernet as standard IEEE 802.3. The routers support the following Ethernet
implementations:
• 1000BASE-T—1000Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP) cable. Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters).
• 100BASE-T—100 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshieldedtwisted-pair
(UTP) cable. Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters).
• 10BASE-T—10Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable. Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters).
