The link LED should be on when the correct cable is used.Note: A shielded cable is required to fully meet EMC standards.When using shielded cables, it is generally recommended to only connect the shield at one end to prevent groundloops and interference with low level signals (i.e. thermocouples, RTD, etc.). CAT5e cables manufactured to EIA-568A or 568B specifications are required for use with Red Lion series switches.In the event all CAT5e patch cables are short (i.e. All Ethernet devices are located in the same local cabinet and/orreferenced to the same earth ground), it is permissible to use fully shielded cables terminated to chassis ground atboth ends in systems avoid low level analog signals.2.6.1.2 RJ45 Connector Crimp SpecificationsRefer to the illustration below for your CAT5 cable specifications.
