Cabling Requirements:

Intel 10 Gigabit adapters

For 10GBASE-T on Category 6,Category6a,or Category 7 wiring, twisted 4-pair copper:

Category 6 wiring supports 55 meters max.

Category 6a wiring supports 100 meters max.

Category 7 wiring supports up to 100 meters

Intel 1 Gigabit adapters

For 1000BASE-T or 100BASE-TX.use Category 5 or Category5e wiring, twisted 4-pair copper:

Make sure you use Category 5 cabling that complies with the TIA-568 wiring specification For more information on this specification.

Length is 100 meters max.

Category 3 wiring supports only 10Mbps

CAUTION: If using less than 4-pair cabling, you must manually configure the speed and duplex setting of the adapter and the link partner. In addition,with2-and3-pair cabling the adapter can only achieve speeds of up to 100Mbps

For 100BASE-TX.use Category 5 wiring.

For10BASE-T.use Category 3 or 5wiring
