OVERVIEW
The right connections are vital to the trouble-free operation
of your network. You can lose performance drastically, for example,
by getting false or excessive collision indications on your network
when your cable is not grounded to the right pin. That’s why you
need BLACK BOX
®
Version 2.0 and IEEE 802.3 Transceiver Cables.
Available in two versions (Industrial and Office), these cables are
perfect for any operating environment. The Industrial version is best
for in-wall installations from the Ethernet transceiver to a wallplate.
We also have an Office Environment Transceiver Cable when you
need to run through tight spaces from the wallplate to your
equipment. This cable is lightweight and flexible enough to be easily
twisted, turned, and looped around office furniture up to 16 feet
(4.9 m) from the wallplate.
The plenum versions of these cables meet all NEC
®
Compliant
Cable Codes for air plenum installation; PVC versions are also
available.
Transceiver Cables are available with straight connectors or right-
angle connectors. Right-angle connectors enable you to make hook-
ups where space is at a premium. Right-angle hoods at each end of
the cables have male or female connectors that make installation easy.
You can run the Industrial Transceiver Cable to a maximum length
of 164 feet (50 m) without significant signal degradation. Also, the
isolated ground shield of all 802.3 cable gives additional protection
in noisy operating environments.
The results you get from your network will depend largely on the
cable you can choose to run it. Your data is too valuable to be crippled
by the wrong cable or cable that’s less than top quality. That’s why we
use only the finest components on the market.
Technically speaking
• here are three Ethernet standards: Version 1, Version 2,
T
and 802.3. In Version 2, all shields are connected to Pin 1
and the AUI connector shell. Most Ethernet cables are
built this way.
• n Version 802.3, all shields of the individual signal and
I
power pairs are connected to Pin 4. The overall AUI cable
shield is connected to the AUI connector shell to provide
a cable ground.
• ost Ethernet Version 1 equipment uses Version
M
2-type cables.

Technically speaking
You can run 802.3 cable from any Ethernet transceiver to
a computer. Equipment that needs this type of cable has all
shields of the individual signal and power pairs connected
to Pin 4. Data General, for example, builds its computers
to comply with IEEE 802.3.

Why Buy From Black Box? Exceptional Value.
Exceptional Tech Support. Period.
Recognize any of these situations?
• You wait more than 30 minutes to get through
to a vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you
the wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase order number and the
tech refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p.m. and you need help, but your vendor’s
tech support line is closed.
According to a survey by
Data Communications
magazine, 90%
of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support
they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor. But even
though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their
overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the
technical support and service they receive falls far short of their
expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the best support.
You can even consult our Technical Support Experts before you buy if
you need help selecting just the right component for your application.
Don’t waste time and money—call Black Box today.
