Connecting Required Cables Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations and practices. Ethernet Ports The RJ45 Ethernet port (ENET) supports 10/100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/ MDX connections. Use these ports to connect the AP to a twisted pair Ethernet LAN segment or directly to an Dell Controller. Use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP cable up to 100 m (325 feet) long. The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port is on the back of the AP. The port has an RJ-45 female connector with the pin-outs shown in .
