Please refer to the following for your cabling:
10/100/1000BASE-T
All 10/100/1000BASE-T ports come with Auto-Negotiation capability. They automatically support
1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into
one of the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, and then turn on TT-DT10-2G-8GP+. The port will automatically run in
10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps, 200Mbps, 1000Mbps or 2000Mbps after the negotiation with the connected de-
vice.
Cabling
Each of the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports uses RJ45 sockets for connection of twisted-pair cable. The IEEE
802.3/802.3u/802.3ab Fast/Gigabit Ethernet standard requires Category 5 for 100Mbps 100BASE-TX.
10BASE-T networks can use Cat.3, 4, 5 or 1000BASE-T uses 5/5e/6 (see table below). Maximum distance is
100 meters (328 feet).

Any Ethernet devices such as hubs/PCs can be connected to the TT-DT10-2G-8GP+ by using
straight-through wires. The whole 10/100/1000Mbps ports are auto-MDI/MDI-X that can be used with either
straight-through or crossover cable.
