10/100/1000 Mbps 5-Port 
Gigabit Ethernet Switch

DESCRIPTION

The 10/100/1000 Mbps 5-Port Gigabit 
Ethernet Switch is used to create a small, 
Local Area Network (LAN). Patch cords 
connected from the Switch to structured 
wiring system connects network data 
devices throughout the home.

INSTALLATION

To install the module into the Leviton 
Structured Media™ Center (SMC), simply 
align the mounting pins with the grid holes 
in the back of the SMC. With the mounting 
pin plungers in the “out” position, press the 
unit into the grid in the desired location. 
Secure by pushing the plungers in.

Note:

  To remove the bracket from 

the switch, loosen the screws 
underneath the Switch and bracket 
combination, then slide the units 
apart.

MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

10/100/1000 Mbps is a specification 
for Ethernet networks based on twisted 
pair cabling. The maximum length of a 
segment for 10/100/1000 Mbps networks 
is 100 meters. The cable and connectors 
are commonly referred to as a Category 
5e or greater patch cord and RJ-45 
connectors, respectively.
To establish 10/100/1000 Mbps 
connections, you will need the following 
equipment:
•  Twisted pair Category 5e or greater patch 

cord for switch-to-NIC (network interface 
card) connections.

•  Twisted pair Category 5e or greater patch 

cord for switch-to-switch connections, 
usually referred to as “switch cascading”.

Note:

  An 10/100/1000 Mbps network 

card is also required for Gigabit 
operation.

Note:

  In order to achieve 1000 Mbps 

Speed, the connected devices must 
support 1000 Mbps networking 
speeds.

Establishing Connections
1.

  Ensure that both the Switch and the 

soon-to-be connected device are in the 
POWER OFF mode.

2.

  Plug one end of a patch cord into an 

available 10/100/1000 Mbps Switch 
port. Connect that cord’s other end to 
the intended port in a Category 5e or 
greater Voice & Data Module which is 
already wired to the wall location.

3.

  Connect a patch cord from the NIC to 

the soon-to-be connected device at the 
wall location to complete the link.

Uplinking (Cascading) to Other 
Switches and Hubs

Switches, hubs and similar network 
devices are uplinked to the switch with 
straight-through Category 5e cabling.

1.

  Connect a Category 5e cable from the 

Uplink port on your network device to 
any port on the Switch.

Note:

  1000 Mbps is only supported in 

Category 5e or greater cables.

FCC STATEMENT

This equipment has been tested and found 
to comply with the limits for a Class B 
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the 
FCC Rules. These limits are designed 
to provide reasonable protection against 
harmful interference in a residential 
installation. This equipment generates, 
uses and can radiate radio frequency 
energy and, if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instructions, may 
cause harmful interference to radio 
communications. However, there is no 
guarantee that interference will not occur 
in a particular installation. If this equipment 
does cause harmful interference to radio 
or television reception, which can be 
determined by turning the equipment off 
and on, the user is encouraged to try to 
correct the interference by one or more of 
the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•  Increase the separation between the 

equipment and receiver.

•  Connect the equipment into an outlet on 

a circuit different from that to which the 
receiver is connected.

•  Consult the dealer or an experienced 

radio/TV technician for help.
