Connecting Network Devices
The TigerSwitch 10G is designed to interconnect multiple segments
(or collision domains). It includes a 100BASE-TX port for management
access, and 8 XFP ports for high-speed connections to your data network.
XFP transceivers can be connected to any network device that supports
the required 10 Gigabit Ethernet media type, such as network cards in PCs
and servers, as well as to switches, routers, or remote devices.
Connecting to the Management Port
When connecting to switch’s management port, use unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Use
Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T connections, or Category 5 or
better for 100BASE-TX connections.
Cabling Guidelines
The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout
configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables
to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or
hubs).
See Appendix B for further information on cabling.
