Connecting network devices
Dell PowerConnect
devices support connections to routers, switches, and hubs from other vendors,
as well as other Dell PowerConnect devices.
Connectors and cable specifications
on page 53 for cable lengths and types supported on the
PowerConnect B-Series TI24X devices. For port pinouts, refer to
Connecting to Ethernet or fast Ethernet hubs
For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or another Dell
PowerConnect device, a crossover cable is required (
). If the hub is
equipped with an uplink port, it will require a straight-through cable instead of a crossover cable.
NOTE
The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the
connection between two 1000Base-T ports. Therefore, a crossover cable may not be required; a
straight-through cable may work as well. For more information about this feature, refer to the
PowerConnect B-Series TI24X Configuration Guide.
