Cable specifications
AD380A (copper)
The AD380A 2–Port GbE adapter can use existing UTP CAT5 (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit
Ethernet over copper, according to the IEEE 802.3ab specifications. For new installations, CAT5e
(enhanced CAT5) cable is recommended.
Maximum distance for Gigabit over copper cable is 100 meters (328 feet).
To connect to the network, the AD380A card requires the following cable for 1000Base-T transmission:
• CAT5 UTP or better twisted-pair
• 22-26 AWG, 100Ω @ 1 MHz
• EIA/TIA 568a or EIA/TIA 568b
AD381A (fiber)
The AD381A 2-Port GbE adapter can use existing multimode fiber cable to deliver Gigabit
Ethernet over fiber, according to the IEEE 802.3z specifications.
Maximum distances for Gigabit over fiber cable are up to 550 meters (1804 ft).
To connect to the network, the AD381A 2-port GbE adapter uses a 1000Base-SX fiber transceiver with low-profile LC fiber connectors. The maximum distance specifications for this adapter are as follows:

RJ-45 pinouts and crossover function (applies to AD380A only)
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. 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.

Unlike connections in which the crossover function is implemented internally at the hub or switch, the AD380A 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.

Regulatory compliance information
Regulatory compliance identification numbers
For the purpose of regulatory compliance certifications and identification, this product has been assigned a unique regulatory model number. The regulatory model number can be found on the product nameplate label, along with all required approval markings and information. When requesting compliance information for this product, always refer to this regulatory model number.
The regulatory model number is not the marketing name or model number of the product.
Federal Communications Commission notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established
Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum.
Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class
A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (for example, personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label
Class A equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at personal expense.
Class B equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and

can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit that is different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.

Electrostatic discharge
The following sections provide information on preventing electrostatic discharges and grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge.
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge
Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis.
Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megaohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized reseller.
