Section 6: Making Network Connections
6.0 Connecting to
a 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.
6.1 Twisted-Pair
Devices
Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ45
connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cables for 1000BASE-
T connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections.
6.2 Cabling
Guidelines
The RJ45 ports on the switch 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).
See Appendix B for further information on cabling.
CAUTION:
Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ45
port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables
with RJ45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.
6.3 Connecting to
PCs, Servers,
Hubs and
Switches
Step 1.
Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s
RJ45 connector.
