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

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.

ABLING

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.
