Ethernet connection indicators
— The Link and
Act LEDs indicate the status of the Ethernet
connection.
•
Link
— Indicates that the switcher is properly
connected to an Ethernet LAN. This green LED
should light steadily.
•
Act (Activity)
— Indicates transmission of data
on the RJ-45 connector. This amber LED should
flicker as the switcher communicates.
Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or 6 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated
with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to 328 feet
(100 m).
NOTES:
•
Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables
do not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.
•
Do not stretch or bend the cables because this can
cause transmission errors.
A cable that is wired as T568A at one end
and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
A cable that is wired the same at both ends
is called a "straight-through" cable, because
no pin or pair assignments are swapped.

RJ-45 Connector and Pinout Tables
The cable you use depends on your network speed. The
switcher supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and
100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and
full-duplex Ethernet connections.
•
10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 or higher UTP or STP
cables.
•
Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e or higher UTP or STP cables.
