CATEGORY 5:

Gauge 24 to 22 AWG
Attenuation 22.0 dB /100m @ 100 MHz

Maximum Cable Distance*: 100 meters
Twisted pair connection requires two active pairs configured as straight-through

OR as crossover. The two active pairs in an Ethernet™ network are pins 1 & 2
and pins 3 & 6. Use only dedicated wire pairs (such as blue/white & white/blue,
orange/white & white/orange) for the active pins.

Using the 512-Bit Rule

When configuring Fast Ethernet™ networks, use the 512-bit rule to determine
masimum cable lengths for each half-duplex collision domair.

In a half-duplex network, maximum
cable lengths are determined by the
round trip delay limitations of each Fast
Ethernet

™ collision domain. (Switches

and routers divide the network into
separate Ethernet™ collision domains.)
The 512-Bit Rule determines maximum
distances by calculating the collision
domain round-trip delay in bit-times.

To calculate a collision domain
round-trip delay in bit-times, find
the longest path between any two
terminal devices in the collision
domain. Calculate the round trip
delay by multiplying the length of
the cable (in meters) by the delay
per meter (in bit-times (BT)), then
take the sum of all cable delays
plus station (DTE), repeater, and
multi-port media converter port
delays. If the result is less than or
equal to 512 bit-times, the path is
good.

Class I repeater 140 BT
Class II repeater 92 BT

Class II TX/FX media converter 92 BT
DTE (PC, switch, router) 50 BT

Cascade two repeater stacks by
connecting fiber cable from a
connector at the front of the

front of the second hub.
