EthernetCableSpecifications
TherecommendedcableisCategory5orbetter.ACategory5cablehasfourtwisted
pairsofwires,whicharecolor‐codedandcannotbeswapped.Themoduleusesonly
twoofthefourpairswhenrunningat10MBitor100MBitspeeds.Alleightwiresare
usedwhenrunningat1000MBitspeeds.
Category5eorbetterca
bleisrecommendedfor1000MBitspeeds.
TheEthernetportonthemoduleisAuto‐Sensing.UseeitherastandardEthernet
straight‐throughcableoracrossovercablewhenconnectingthemoduletoanEthernet
hub,a10/100/1000Base‐TEthernetswitch,ordire
ctlytoaPC.Themodulewilldetect
thecabletypeandusetheappropriatepinstosendandreceiveEthernetsignals.
EthernetcablingislikeU.S.telephonecables,exceptthatithaseightconductors.Some
