UTP cable specifications

To connect to the network, the NC380T uses the following cable for 1000Base-T transmission:

Specifications 11

• CAT5 UTP or better twisted-pair

• 22-26 AWG, 100 Ω @ 1 MHz

• EIA/TIA 568a or EIA/TIA 568b

NOTE: For Gigabit over copper installations, CAT5 UTP or better 1000Base-T cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard. For new installations, CAT5e (enhanced

CAT5) or better cable is recommended. Maximum distances for Gigabit over copper cable are

100 meters (328 feet).

RJ-45 pinouts and crossover function

The Ethernet standard also specifies that each segment implement a crossover function to connect the transmitter of one device to the receiver of a device at the other end, and vice-versa. The crossover function may be implemented internally at the hub or switch or externally through the twisted-pair media.

10/100 pinouts using internal, straight-through crossover

If the crossover function is implemented internally, the port is labeled MDI-X (Medium Dependent Interface-

Crossover). When an MDI-X port is connected to an MDI port, the twisted pair media should be wired straight-through using the physical pinouts indicated.

10/100 pinouts using external crossover through twisted-pair media

When the crossover function is not provided within the hub or switch, you must implement the crossover through the twisted-pair media using the physical pinouts indicated.

Specifications 13

Gigabit over copper pinouts using internal crossover for RJ-45

Unlike connections in which the crossover function is implemented internally at the hub or switch, the

NC380T provides its own automatic crossover function. This means you can wire twisted-pair media straight-through for adapter-to-hub, adapter-to-switch, or adapter-to-adapter connections using the pinouts indicated.

NOTE: To operate at Gigabit speeds, all four pairs of wires must be terminated within the RJ-

45 connector.
