Maximum Distance
10BASE-T
RJ-45
Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted pairs (UTP)
100m (328 ft)
100/1000BASE-T1 RJ-45 Category 52 UTP 100m (328 ft)

11000BASE-T signaling requires 4 twisted pairs of Category 5 balanced cabling, as specified in ISO/IEC 11801:1995 and ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A (1995) and tested for additional performance using testing procedures defined in TIA/EIA TSB95.

2Category 5 is the minimum requirement. Category 5e and Category 6 are fully supported.
