Cabling for 10Base-T Networks



Cabling for 10Base-T Networks

Two types of network cables may be connected to the Quad-BT PeerMaster adapter: straight-through and crossover.

NOTE: Use straight-through cables when connecting your adapter to an external 10Base-T concentrator hub.

Straight-Through

 

Use crossover cables to directly connect your adapter to another 10Base-T device, such as a workstation, server, or another adapter. Crossover cables create dedicated segments . A dedicated segment is two point-to-point devices connected to a dedicated link.

Crossover

 

  Ensure that you do not externally join ports of adapters (using bridges, switches, or concentrators).
