DFE-660TX Fast Ethernet PC Card User's Guide protrude from the PC Card slot. Grip its protruding end between your fingers and withdraw it from the PC Card slot. Connect the Network Cable Category 5 UTP cable is good enough to qualify under both the Fast Ethernet cabling rules and the traditional Ethernet cabling rules. The maximum individual cable run between any station and its supporting hub or switch is 100m. The maximum individual cable run joining two hubs is 10m in general, but is 100m when both hubs qualify as Ethernet Class 2 Repeaters (all D-Link Ethernet hubs do qualify). But these cable runs may need to be shorter than the given individual maximum lengths, because their lengths are also restricted by the rule that the maximum aggregated cable run between any two stations is 205m. Connecting for Fast Ethernet Category 5 UTP cable is required for Fast Ethernet operation. The maximum length of cable between the DFE-660TX and the supporting hub is 300 ft. The cable must be " straight" (not a " crossover" cable), with an RJ-45 plug at each end. Make the network connection by plugging one end of the cable into the RJ-45 receptacle of the media coupler, and the other end into a port of the supporting hub. Connecting for 10Mbps Ethernet Category 3, Category 4, and Category 5 UTP cable, as well as EIA/TIA - 568 100-ohm STP cable, all qualify under traditional Ethernet cabling rules. The maximum cable run between the DFE-660TX and the supporting hub is 300 ft. The cable must be " straight" (not a " crossover" cable) with RJ-45 plug at each end. Hardware Installation 13
