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

ANSWER: Yes, you can use Cat 5 cables to connect things together (PC to LC unit and LC unit to LC unit). There are two options to do this: Purchase adapters for each LC unit and then RJ45 splitters for each board you wish to connect to. We will start selling these items on our store shortly. Example:

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.

A switch has chips to store MAC addresses of the connected clients. Hubs do not. Therefore a switch can send packets directly to the intended computer based upon the header of the packets. Hub is different, when hub receives packets, it will broadcast packets to all the clients that are connected and that costs traffic. A switch is more efficient than a hub.

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.

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.

PC/104 systems with multiple processors or peripherals that have Ethernet interfaces can use a PC/104 Ethernet switch or hub board to be networked together. Fast Ethernet and 10BaseT switches or hubs are available with auto-MDI-MDIX network installation and up to five auto-configurable 10/100 transceiver ports. Ethernet connections are made through either onboard RJ-45 jacks or via right-angle Molex connectors that can be used to mount RJ-45 jacks in a faceplate, endcap or enclosure.

There are two RJ45 ports at the back of the Bluetooth Access Point, LAN and Uplink (port with a X sign). If you are connecting via a router, please use a standard RJ45 ethernet cable and plug into the LAN port. If you are connecting directly from the ethernet jack on the wall, then you should use a standard RJ45 ethernet cable and plug into the Uplink port (or a crossover RJ45 ethernet cable and plug into the LAN port).

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.

A switch can send packets directly to the computer that's connected to LAN. A router is a combination of a switch and a Network Address Translator (NAT). The NAT function in the router allows sharing a single IP address provided by the ISP with PCs connected directly to the router/switch or switch connected to the router. Basically if you are not planning to share a broadband connection in your network, than an Ethernet switch is efficient enough.

No, the 100TX ports, the fixed and the optional transceiver, are for 100TX only and will not support 10Base-T. If a 10Base-T port is connected to the 100TX port, the switch may attempt to auto-negotiate to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and end up in a nonfunctional state. The IEEE 802.3u standard specifies a maximum possible length of 100 meters of Category 5 cable for the 100TX connection. This is a point-to-point maximum length specified for a single cable.

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:

Yes, using 4 pairs CAT 5 twisted pair cable that could use FORESIGHT model TTP414V/TTP444 to transmit 4 set video signals. You can also use our

ANSWER: The old serial adapters will work. One just needs a few more of them and different genders. In some cases (if you have a very old adapter that you purchased from ChristmasCave) some of the query functions won't work because the adapters ChristmasCave sold early on were output only and didn't have a wire for information to travel back to the PC. The control of the LC units should still work.

Current FCC reports have shown that on average, DISH Network will save you up to 35% over cable. Not only that, but where DISH Network out does cable is that 100% of DISH Network's channels and programs are 100% digital! You may be able to order "digital" cable however, not all the channels are digital most are still analog!

Our ResNet program uses 100base-T. Our entire ResNet program uses standard RJ-45 type connectors for our connections. Crossover Ethernet cables will not work on our system. The length of your patch cable will depend on where you decide to place your computer in your room. For most areas a 25-foot patch cable will allow you to place your computer anywhere in your room. [ back to top ] ResNet uses DHCP and this information will be provided automatically to your computer when it connects to ResNet.

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.

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.
