Connecting 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 100m 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 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet
Category 5 UTP cable is required for Fast Ethernet
operation. The maximum cable run between the DFE-
530TX 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.
