2.5 Desktop Installation
The POE-FSH242G-250 PoE Switch has four rubber pads attached on each corner of its
underside. These pads serve as cushioning against vibration and prevent the switch from
sliding off its position. They also allow adequate ventilation space when you place the
switch on top of another device.
The location you choose to install your switch and the way you configure your network
may greatly affect its performance. Please see the previous section for “installation
site” preparation.
Do not place more than 3kg (6.6lbs) of weight on the top of the switch.
Leave at least 10cm (4 inch) of space around the switch to allow proper heating
dissipation.
2.6 Cabling Requirements
For 100BASE-TX and 1000Base-T ports
The 24 RJ-45 station ports and the 1000Base-T ports of the optional Gigabit-Copper
module require Cat. 5 twisted-pair UTP/STP cable for connection. When configuring within
the 10/100/1000BASE-T cabling architecture, the cable distance should be within 100m.
