Ethernet cable
Most high speed connections are made using Ethernet cables. The FX80 must use T568B termination for RJ45 connections on both ends of the cable.

Ethernet cables are available commercially in different lengths, colours and categories. Normally, CAT-5E and CAT-6 cables are used in local area networks with bandwidths exceeding 100 Mbit.
Note
It is very important that high-quality Ethernet cables are used. You must use CAT-5E quality or better. If you use cables with lower bandwidth capacity you will reduce the FX80 performance.
For 100Base-TX connections only Orange, Orange-White, Green, and Green-White are required. No cross-over is required for 100Base-TX direct pier to pier connections with the FX80.
