Live-GSH8T Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Installation on Wall
Live-GSH8T Gigabit Switch can be mounted on a wall with wall anchors and screws.
To mount the Switch on wall, please follow the steps below:
Drill two holes, the distance between both of which should be 9 cm (such as the illustration
below).
Insert wall anchors into these two holes.
Drive the screws into the top of the wall anchors.
Mount

Cabling Requirements
Live-GSH8T
Gigabit Ethernet Switch is primarily designed as a central switching device to provide
Gigabit bandwidth to your existing Ethernet/Fast Ethernet LAN. It provides you with eight built-in
gigabit ports to establish gigabit backbone connections, relieving your network bottleneck. It fits
well into the 10/100/1000 BASE-T cabling architecture to facilitate not only 10/100Mbps half/full
duplex, but also 1000Mbps full-duplex transmission speed.
The eight RJ-45 station ports (Auto MDI/MDI-X) all require Cat. 5 twisted-pair UTP/STP cable for
connection. When configuring within the 10/100/1000BASE-TX cabling architecture, the UTP
cabling distance should be within a maximum distance of 100m.
The table below describes when to use straight-through or crossover cable:
