Installation Guide for 100VG Recessed Transceivers 1995-11

HP J3028A Recessed 100VG Twisted-Pair Transceiver
The HP J3028A Recessed 100VG Twisted-Pair Transceiver connects an
HP networking device to an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) network. This
transceiver is compatible with IEEE 802.12 standard.
Connecting the Twisted-Pair Cable
An HP 100VG LAN supports category 3, 4, and 5 four-pair, 100 ohm UTP
(unshielded twisted-pair) cables. Category 3 UTP cable is standard,
voice-grade, telephone cable. If you have a twisted-pair cable that
complies with Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T specifications and it is
four-pair, you can use the same cable for this transceiver.
For category 3 and 4, the maximum cable length is 100 meters. For
category 5, you can connect up to 200 meters of cable.
Push the cable’s 8-pin RJ-45 plug into the transceiver’s jack until it clicks
into place.
When power has been supplied to the HP networking device or device
module into which the transceiver is installed, check the Link or port LED
that pertains to the transceiver on the device. If the transceiver is
receiving a signal properly, the Link or port LED should be ON. If the Link
or port LED is OFF, see Troubleshooting on page 6.
