Features and Benefits
Connectivity
• 24/48 10/100BASE-T ports, 2 Gigabit 1000BASE-T ports, and 4 Gigabit
combination ports (RJ-45/SFP).
• Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the optimum
speed (10/100/1000 Mbps), and the communication mode (half or full duplex) if
this feature is supported by the attached device; otherwise the port can be
configured manually.
• Independent RJ-45 10/100BASE-T ports with auto MDI/MDI-X pinout selection.
• Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3, 4 or 5 for
10 Mbps connections, Category 5 for 100 Mbps connections, and Category 5 or
better for 1000 Mbps connections.

compatibility with standards-based hubs, network cards and switches from any
vendor.
