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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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