Cables for these link segments must be certified as
EIA/TIA-568 Category 5.
ñ Cables that have been certified as EIA/TIA-568
Category 5 meet all 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX
specifications. An EIA/TIA-568 Category 5 cable must
be used for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX.
ò The cable can contain two to four twisted pairs, but
only two of the pairs will be used by the 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX network.
ó The c represents the velocity of light traveling in a
vacuum, which is 300 000 km/sec (186 400 mi/sec).
