4 Using the Notebook PC Network Connection Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the Notebook PC and the other end to a hub or switch. Your network cable must be category 5 (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. For 10Base-T, you can use category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring. Duplex transfers is supported on this Notebook PC but requires connection to a switch with "duplex" enabled. The software default is to use the fastest setting so no user-intervention is required. Twisted-Pair Cable The cable used to connect the Ethernet card to a host (generally a Hub or Switch) is called a straightthrough Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE). The end connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which are not compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors. If connecting two computers together without a hub in between, a crossover twisted-pair is required.
