This interface has a standard type RJ45 connector. These connection cables are widely used in business.
In an industrial environment, you must use a cable with the following characteristics:
-
Shielded twisted double pair
-
Impedance 100 Ω±15 Ω (from 1 to 16 MHz)
-
Maximum attenuation 11.5 dB/100 meters
-
Maximum length 100 meters
The 10 BASE-T connection is a point to point connection to form a star-shaped network. The stations are connected to concentrators or switches.
