Twisted-pair Cables

Applicable EtherNet/IP communications cables and connectors vary depending on the used baud rate.
For 100Base-TX and 10Base-T, use an STP (shielded twisted-pair) cable of category 5 or higher.
You can use either straight or cross cable.
For 1000Base-T, use an STP (shielded twisted-pair) cable (double shielding with aluminum tape and braiding) of category 5e or higher. You can use either straight or cross cable
Cabling materials used for EtherNet/IP communication cables are shown in the table below.
"100Base-TX" in the "Product" column of the table below indicates that either 100Base-TX or 10Base-T can be used.
