Connecting Network Devices
The switch is designed to be connected to 10, 100 or 1000Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to
other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to remote devices using optional 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.
Cabling Guidelines
The RJ‐45 ports on the switch that support automatic MDI/MDI‐X pin‐out configuration, so you can use standard
straight‐through twisted‐pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or
hubs).
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.
