Appendix C:  Cable Connections

This cable information is provided for your reference only.  Please ensure you only 

connect the appropriate cable into the correct socket on either this product or your 

computer.

If you are unsure about which cable to use or which socket to connect it to, please 

refer to the hardware installation section in this manual. If you are still not sure 

about cable connections, please contact a professional computer technician or Net-

RJ-45 Network Ports 

RJ-45 Network Ports can connect any networking devices that use a standard LAN 

interface, such as a Hub/Switch Hub or Router. Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) 

or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable to connect the networking device to the RJ-45 

Ethernet port.   Depending on the type of connection, 10Mbps or 100Mbps, use the 

following Ethernet cable, as prescribed.
10Mbps: Use EIA/TIA-568-100-Category 3, 4 or 5 cable.
100Mbps: Use EIA/TIA-568-100-Category 5 cable.

Note:   To prevent loss of signal, make sure that the length of any twisted-pair 

connection does not exceed 100 metres.

Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the use of straight-through and crossover twisted pair 

cables along with the connector. 

RJ11 connector and cable

 An RJ-11 connector is the small, modular plug used for most analog telephones. It 

has six pin slots in the head, but usually only two or four of them are used.

605 to RJ-11 adapter

The 605 to RJ-11 adaptor is provided to comply with the older 610 Telstra wall 

socket.  The 605 to RJ-11 adapter may be used to convert the supplied RJ-11 cable, 

if the older connection is required.
