1.1.1 License Option
At the time of writing, the following Switch license is available for purchase. The following table shows
the features supported for the new license.
1.1.2 Multi-Gigabit
A 10 Gigabit port supports speeds of 10G if the connected device supports 10G and a Cat 6a (up to 100
m) or Cat 6 cable (up to 50 m) is used. The speed drops to 1G if these criteria are not met; it drops to
100M if a Cat 5 cable is used (up to 100 m).
If a network device such as a 5G network card, gaming computer, server, Network Attached Storage
(NAS) or Access Point (AP) only supports 2.5 Gigabit or 5 Gigabit connectivity, then the maximum speed
potential of these devices is never reached.
In addition, at the time of writing, most existing cabling is Cat 5e or Cat 6, further limiting maximum
