Wiring the Terminal
3.1 Cabling requirements
Table 6 on page 13 outlines recommended cabling requirements for each of the connectors on
the emerald terminal.
3.1.1 Ethernet host
Ethernet communications should be cabled & terminated for 100Base-T operation according
to IN ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A / TIA/EIA-568-B.
Due to limited space, additional care should be taken when using CAT6 connectors or CAT5
connectors with a strain relief boot at the terminal. There should be enough spare cable left
within the enclosure/back box to allow a service engineer to open the terminal case without
straining the RJ45 connector. Where the cable is subject to movement or vibration, stranded
ethernet cable (and appropriate connectors) should be used.
