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 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 Fast Ethernet (100Mbps)

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.
