Chapter 4: Making Network Connections
Connecting Network Devices
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.
Twisted-Pair Devices
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.
Cabling Guidelines
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.
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.
