2.2.1 Ports Speed

100Base-TX
All 100Base-TX ports come with auto-negotiation capability.
They automatically support 100Base-TX and 10Base-T
networks. Users only need to plug a working network device
into one of the 100Base-TX ports, then turn on the hub. The
port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or
200Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device.

2.2.2 Cabling

NOVASwitch 100Base-TX ports use RJ-45 sockets -- similar to
phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable
(UTP). The IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard requires
Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks
can use Cat.3, 4, or 5 UTP (see table A)
