10/100/1000BASE-T Cable Specifications

Port Type Connector Media Maximum Distance
10BASE-T RJ-45 Cat. 3, 4, or 5 UTP 100 meters (328 feet)
100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 Cat. 5 UTP 100 meters (328 feet)

NOTE - 1000BASE-T signaling requires four twisted pairs of Category 5 balanced cabling, as specified in ISO/IEC 11801:1995 and ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A (1995) and tested for additional performance using testing procedures defined in TIA/EIA TSB95.
