EVICES

The switch is designed to be connected remote devices using optional 
1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH, 1000BASE-LHX, 1000BASE-ZX, 
1000BASE-BX20, or 1000BASE-BX10 SFP transceivers. It may also be connected 
to 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other 
switches and hubs.

EVICES

Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 
connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T 
connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 
or better for 10BASE-T connections.

UIDELINES

The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout 
configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to 
connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).

See Appendix B for further information on cabling.

C

AUTION

:

 Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This 

will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 
connectors that conform to FCC standards.
