BLU link
BLU link is a proprietary point to point networking protocol that requires CAT5e or better
cable. The BLU link ports are auto sensing, so you can use either a straight through
cable (same termination on both ends) or crossover cable between them. The maximum
allowable cable length of a single BLU link connection is 100 m (328 ft). By connecting
the last BLU link device in the ring, back to the first BLU link device in the ring, BLU
link’s built-in fault tolerance feature can be utilized. Any of the CAT5e cables shown in
the below table can be used when making BLU link connections.
