3.3 Cabling Requirements
For successful installation and optimum network performance, use CAT5 or CAT5e cable.
3.3.1 Twisted-Pair Ports
For a Fast Ethernet TP network connection, use CAT5 or CAT5e cable that’s up to 100 meters long.
For a Gigabit Ethernet TP network connection, use CAT5 or CAT5e cable that’s up to 100 meters long. We recommend using CAT5e cable
for Gigabit connections.
3.3.2 Fiber Transceiver Ports
There are two categories of fiber: multimode (MM) and single-mode (SM). Multimode fiber is categorized into several classes by the distance
it supports. The classes are SX, LX, LHX, XD, and ZX. The fiber modules that work with the switch have LC and BIDI LC connectors.
