10 Mbps Connection For 10BASE-T Ethernet networks, the Fast Ethernet adapter uses Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable. To establish a valid 10 Mbps connec- tion, the cable must be connected to a 10BASE-T hub. Connect the network cable as follows: 1. Make sure that the plug on the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 10BASE-T adapter. 2. Align the RJ-45 plug on the end of the UTP cable with the notch on the adapter's connector and insert it into the adapter connec- tor as shown in Figure 2-3. Fi
