6.6.5  Connectors for the Twisted Pair Cables 
The FastConnect Cabling System 
With the IE FC RJ-45 Plug and the FastConnect cables (FC), you can achieve a 
segment length up to 100 m without patching. In this case, the IE FC standard ca-
ble 2x2 is connected directly to the SCALANCE X414-3E and other components 
on the network. 
Two FastConnect cable types are available, the eight-wire IE FC standard cable 
4x2 and the four-wire IE FC standard cable 2x2. 
The diameter of the IE FC standard cable 4x2 does not allow connection to an RJ-
45 plug so that only the IE FC standard cable 2x2 as a four-wire cable is suitable 
for RJ-45 plugs. This means that the maximum transmission rate is 100 Mbps. 
The flexible eight-wire patch cable (TP cord) for gigabit transmission allows a maxi-
mum cable length of 10 m.
