Cabling Guidelines
The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation,
so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to
any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
Note:
If auto-negotiation is disabled for an RJ-45 port, the auto-MDI/
MDI-X pin signal configuration is also disabled.
See Appendix B for further information on cabling.
Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches.
Caution:
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.
1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45
connector.
