Switch to End Node
An end node can be any networking device, plugged into any of the networking ports of the Switch, where data
transmission ends. Typical end nodes are computers. End nodes are generally outfitted with a 10/100/1000Mbps
RJ45 Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) that can connect to the Switch using a twisted-pair UTP/STP cable.
Connect the end node to any of the copper RJ45 ports of the Switch. The Link/Act LEDs for each Ethernet port turns
green or amber when the link is active. A blinking LED indicates packet activity on that port.

Switch to another Switch
There is a great deal of flexibility on how connections are made from the Switch to other switches using the
appropriate cabling.
•
Connect a 10Mbps switch port to the Switch using a twisted-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP cable.
•
Connect a 100Mbps switch port to the Switch using a twisted-pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable.
•
Connect a 1000Mbps switch port to the Switch using a twisted pair Category 5e UTP/STP cable.
•
Connect a switch supporting a fiber-optic connection to the Switch’s SFP/SFP+ ports using SFP/SFP+
transceivers and fiber-optic cabling.
