Is 10BASE-T Compatible with 100BASE-T?
(OP)
Hi,
I'm going to be working on an old printer with a 10-BASET port for 10 mbps Category 3 cable. I have the following questions:
1. Can I plug in Category 5 or 5e cable into the 10-BASET port?
2. Can I connect Category 3 cable to a new router from the old printer?
Thanks,
Rich

Cat 5e, Cat 6 and Cat 6a are rated for 10 meg to 1 gig, all at 100 meters. They are all equally fine for these speeds.
Cat 6 is also rated for short runs of 10 gig, and Cat 6a is also rated for 100 meters of 10 gig. If you don't need 10 gig, you don't need any flavor of Cat 6.
I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

I wound up scrounging some discarded 10BaseT hub/switches, and configuring patch panels so that the scanners only saw the 10BaseT equipment, and I set up the one PC they needed to see with dual NICs, one to talk to the scanners, and the 10/100 NIC to provide access to the rest of the network. For just one printer, you could get by interposing a single 10BaseT hub or switch between it and the rest of the network.
