TECh SUPPORT: 1.888.678.9427
Installation
RJ-45 Cabling
Use four twisted-pair, Category 5e or above cabling for the RJ-45 port connection.
The cable between the switch and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less
than 100 meters (328 feet) long.
The RJ-45 copper ports will auto-sense for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T connections.
Auto MDI/MDIX means that the switch can connect to another switch or workstation without
changing straight through or crossover cabling.
