INSTALLATION

TWISTED PAIR CABLE

You may use Cat. 3 or better cables for your 10Base-T Ethernet

environment. It is important that the pairings of wires in the

modular plug match the pairs in the modular jack as well as the

horizontal and backbone wiring. If they don’t, the data being

transmitted may be paired with incompatible signals.

INTERCONNECTION GUIDELINES

The Ethernet Hub makes your various types of Ethernet networks

interconnection comes true. Using the hub, you can efficiently

build up and flexibly interconnect twisted-pair Ethernet networks.

Furthermore, having great expansion capability, the hub keeps

your existing coaxial Ethernet system still valuable, capable of

connecting different Ethernet cabling systems together with wide

range of configuration.

No matter what kind of medium and configuration you choose to

build up your network, certain guidelines must be observed.

1. The Distance Guidelines of Twisted-pair Wire, Coaxial

Cable.

Medium

Connection Max. Distance

Twisted Pair hub to station 100 meters

Twisted Pair hub to hub 100 meters

Twisted Pair hut to AUI adapter 100 meters

Thin cable hub to hub 185 meters

2. Guidelines for the maximum Ethernet Network Length

 A maximum of three to four Ethernet hubs or repeaters may

be attached within the path between any two stations,

according to your network environment.
