Switch to End Node
An end node is a generic name for edge networking devices that will be connected to this switch. Typical examples of
end nodes are Personal Computers (PCs), Notebooks, Access Points, Print Servers, VoIP Phones and more. Each
end node should be fitted with an RJ45 networking port. Normally, end nodes will connect to this switch by using a
standard twisted-pair UTP/STP network cable. When a successful connection is established, the corresponding port
light will illuminate and blink to indicate that network activity is taking place on that port.
The diagram below displays a typical end node connected to the Switch.

The Switch can be used to connect to any other switch or hub in the network. This network topology is used when the
Switch does not have enough ports to cater for all the end nodes in the network.
There is a great deal of flexibility on how connections are made using the appropriate cabling.

Connect a 100BASE-TX switch port to the Switch via a Category 5 UTP/STP cable.

Connect a 1000BASE-T switch port to the Switch via a Category 5e UTP/STP cable.

Connect a 10GBASE-T switch port to the Switch via a Category 6/6a/7 UTP/STP cable.

Connect a fiber, uplink, switch port to the Switch's SFP+/SFP28 port via a fiber optical cable.
