NETWORK CABLE CONNECTION

All four EtherPower II 10/100 network card models have an RJ-45

connector for connection to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hub or

switch using an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. In addition,

the SMC9432BTX provides a BNC port for thin coax cable, while

the SMC9432FTX enables fiber cable connections. This chapter

describes all connection methods.

Connection Guidelines

To connect to a 10BASE-T device, use the network card’s RJ-45

connector and Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable (2-wire pairs

required).

To connect to a 100BASE-TX device, use the network card’s

RJ-45 connector and Category 5 UTP cable (2-wire pairs

required).

To connect to a 10BASE2 device, use the BNC connector on

the SMC9432BTX network card and thin coax cable.

To connect to a 100BASE-FX device, use the SC connector on

the SMC9432FTX network card and 62.5/125 µm fiber optic

cable.

The attached device must be within the distance limitations

specified by the applicable IEEE specification.

Observe the following guidelines for 100BASE-TX/FX operation:

The maximum length of a twisted-pair segment is 100 meters.

The maximum length of a fiber segment is 412 meters in half

duplex and 2 km in full duplex.

For 100 Mbps operation, the EtherPower II 10/100 card must

be connected to a 100BASE-TX/100BASE-FX hub or switch.

For additional Fast Ethernet guidelines, refer to SMC’s World Wide

Web site at the URL shown on the back cover of this user guide.
