Connecting Network Devices
The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 is designed to interconnect multiple
segments (or collision domains). It may be connected to network cards in
PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. It may also be
connected to devices using 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or
1000BASE-ZX SFP transceivers.
Twisted-Pair Devices
Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45
connectors at both ends. For 1000BASE-T connections, Category 5, 5e or
6 (recommended) cable is required with all four wire pairs connected. You
should also test the cable installation for IEEE 802.3ab compliance. See
“1000BASE-T Cable Requirements” on page B-4.
For 100BASE-TX connections, Category 5 or better cable is required; for
10BASE-T, Category 3 or better cable can be used.
