• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers. • Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry. • Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly. Installing a low profile bracket You may have to install a low profile bracket to complete the product installation. The low profile bracket replaces the existing standard profile bracket shipped on the product. To install a low profile bracket: 1.
Connecting the network cable To secure the cable, plug the cable connector into the RJ-45 port. Ensure that the tab on the plug clicks into position indicating that it is properly seated. For more information, see UTP cable specifications (on page 12).

UTP cable specifications The NC360T adapter can use existing UTP CAT5 (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit Ethernet over copper, according to the IEEE 802.3ab specifications. For new installations, CAT5e (enhanced CAT5) cable is recommended. Maximum distances for Gigabit over copper cable are 100 meters (328 feet).
10/100 pinouts using external crossover through twisted-pair media When the crossover function is not provided within the hub or switch, you must implement the crossover through the twisted-pair media using the physical pinouts indicated.
Gigabit over copper pinouts using internal crossover for RJ-45 Unlike connections in which the crossover function is implemented internally at the hub or switch, the NC360T provides its own automatic crossover function. This means you can wire twisted-pair media straight-through for adapter-to-hub, adapter-to-switch, or adapter-to-adapter connections using the pinouts indicated. NOTE: To operate at Gigabit speeds, all four pairs of wires must be terminated within the RJ45 connector.
Gigabit over copper pinouts using external crossover through twisted pair media When a crossover function is not provided by the adapter, hub or switch, you must implement it through the twisted-pair media using the physical pinouts indicated.
