To connect a single network cable to each port of the NIC:
■
For 100BASE-TX, your network cable must be Category 5, twisted-pair
wiring. If you plan to run the NIC at 100 Mbps, it must be connected to
a 100BASE-TX hub or switch (not a 100BASE-T4 hub).
■
For 10BASE-T, use Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring. If you want
to use this NIC in a residential environment, you must use a Category 5
cable.
