A crossed Ethernet cable can be used to connect a GTH directly to a server's Ethernet port, without using a hub or switch. This is sometimes also called a crossover cable. Shielded CAT-5 cable must be used, the connectors are RJ45.

A crossed E1/T1 cable can be used to loop back an E1/T1 port, i.e. make a GTH transmit to itself. The connector is RJ45. E1 lines are specified for 120 ohm cables, so a CAT-5 or CAT-5e cable (100 ohm) is out-of-spec and thus not recommended for anything beyond lab use.

A straight cable is most often used to connect an Ethernet interface to an Ethernet hub or switch. Shielded CAT-5 cable (STP) must be used, the connectors are RJ45.

No, neither ResNet nor Campus Life provide cables longer than 25 feet in length, nor do we supply couplers to join two cables together to create a longer cable run. There are two main reasons for this. First, this is a safety issue. Exposed cabling greater than 25 feet in length is considered a hazard and a safety risk and is not supplied for this reason.

No. Beginning as of August 2005, ResNet cables will provided as part of the room inventory, rather than being distributed individually each year. As a result of provisioning and tracking cables as part of room inventory, shorter cables will no longer be provided.

You may try your own Ethernet cable, but most of the buildings serviced by ResNet are networked using a Cornell-specific wiring standard. This wiring standard is incompatible with many Ethernet cables. If you are using your own Ethernet cable and have any problems, the first thing you must do is stop using your own cable and try the one provided in your room.

Ethernet, also called CAT-5, RJ-45, or 10-Base T, is the type of cable used to connect computers to the Georgetown network. Ethernet looks like a phone cable but with larger connectors at each end and a fatter cable. You cannot use telephone cable to connect to the Georgetown network.

Since Squeezebox's ethernet interface is 10/100 ethernet, you can use CAT3, CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 ethernet cable. If you are connecting directly to a computer you will need a crossover cable, otherwise a regular straight cable will work just fine. (Note: Some Macintosh computers will work with either a regular or crossover cable.) The maximum length for 10base-T and 100base-T cables is 100 meters or about 328 feet, assuming that the appropriate type of wire is used and it is laid correctly.

Contact the Electronics Workshop (x2754), who will either have a spare cable available, or can organise one to be made up for you. If you want to purchase one for your own use, these cables are readily available at most electronics retail outlets. They're called "Cat 5" (Category 5), UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet cables, with RJ-45 type connectors at each end (these connectors are similar to, but larger than, the modern phone connectors).

No, an ethernet cable does not come with the computers. These can be purchased at most major electronics stores as well as the NCSU Bookstore. Based on student input, we recommend getting an ethernet cable of about 25 feet in length. This allows for greater flexibility when arranging dorm rooms.

Yes, we do provide each student with a 14-ft ethernet cable and they are available at the Help Desk in Fellows Lobby. If the cable is too short, return it to the Help Desk. Multiple or longer cables are available for purchase from the bookstore or local stores like Walmart, Best Buy or Staples.

Extra long cables can be purchased at computer or office supply stores such as the NYU Computer Store.

You can purchase CAT-5 10-Base-T Ethernet cable from the Georgetown University Bookstore or any computer/office supply store. During New Student Orientation, vendors will have Ethernet cable for sale at UIS technology events.

The Ethernet cable has eight wires, and you can see the color code through the transparent RJ-45 connector. Only wire 1,2,3 and 6 are used. In a straight through Ethernet cable wires 1,2,3 and 6 have the same color at both ends. However, in a crossover Ethernet cable, wires 1 and 2 terminate at position 3 and 6, and wire 3 and 6 terminate at positions 1 and 2, respectively.

The Ethernet cable and a standard telephone cable do look alike but are very different. The Ethernet cable is know as a "category 5 cable" or "cat 5" for short. The ends of a cat 5 cable are also wider than a telephone cable because this type of cables have more pins in the ends. Because of these design difference a telephone cable and a Ethernet cable are not interchangeable.

This question assumes that you are connected by an internal bus that you installed, attached directly to the NT (without using an RJ45 cable). The easiest way to test it is to buy a little cable tester (the author of this FAQ got one from Conrad Electronics in Germany for 29,- DM - just follow the simple instructions). Otherwise you have a bit more work. Switch line a1 and b1. If it doesn't work, put them back and switch a2 and b2. If it still doesn't work, try switching them both.

If you choose to direct purchase through Sheridan you will need to purchase a network (Ethernet) cable when you purchase your laptop.

This is done by some, and usually with success. But the correct answer, is no, you should not do this. It opens your network up to interference and performance problems (when your phone rings the line is carrying a 90V ac signal. ) as well, it may limit the future flexibility of your network. You also run the slight risk that a 40-100VDC telephone signal might get inadvertantly connected to your netowrk card.

No. Standard Ethernet cables do not have the necessary bandwidth properties for transmitting high-grade video over long distances. Because the actual usage purpose of UTP cables is to transfer digital data, the cable specifications are optimised for this use.

cablelynx provides a 30 inch cable with the Cable Modem. Longer lengths can be purchased from your local computer retailer, or your cable company. cablelynx has been tested with Ethernet cable lengths of 50 feet betwen the cable modem and the computer.

Yes, the pin map is at cable.html. Homemade cables are not as good as manufactured cables due to stray effects (inductance and capacitance) because they are not tightly and controllably wrapped and shielded. Such affects can slow transfer speed, cause timeouts and in extreme cases, can even cause corruption of transferred files. If you want to make your own cable, keep it as short as possible.

CAT-5e cable is not rated for outdoor use, however it can generally be used without a problem. If possible, run the cable through some kind of conduit to prevent moisture or an attractive site for lightning to strike. You should be able to find gray PVC conduit suitable for cable at any hardware store. Remember, 100 Meters is your max distance, without some kind of hub, bridge or amplification.

Yes, but you would have to implement the equivalent of Echelon's xDriver software. The best choice for using the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter without LNS is to use Echelon's OpenLDV driver. It is available free of charge at www.echelon.com/openLDV. Yes, though the algorithm differs from the i.LON 600 LonWorks/IP Server. This question is usually asked when trying to figure out how much bandwidth an i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter might consume on an Ethernet segment. For example, if the i.

All ports on the latest SIXNET Industrial Ethernet Switches support auto-crossover so either cable type can be used. See the appropriate user manual for cable pin-outs and more details.

Most computer come with an integrated Ethernet card. If your computer does not have one previously installed, you can buy an Ethernet card and RJ45 network cable from the University Bookstore or from most other computer retail stores.

BaseTX devices to the switch always limit the cable distance to 100 meters (328 ft) as defined by IEEE specification.

Unfortunately, this switch is defective. Please go replace you switch ASAP with your Vendor. If you have this switch over 30 days, then please E-mail rma@gigafast.com for future instructions.

Depending on the quality of telephone line, the maximum distance of one VDSL segment is 4000 feet (1.3Km). We got some data as following table:
