Switch Hardware Interfaces

The following sections describe the hardware interfaces on the switch.

1G RJ-45 Ports

All copper RJ-45 ports support AutoSensing. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the
switch automatically detects the maximum speed (1 Gbps) and duplex mode (half-duplex or
full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support a Category 5e (Cat 5e) unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable or higher rated Ethernet cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45
connector.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This
technology allows you to attach devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or
crossover cables.
When you insert a cable into the switch's RJ-45 port, the switch automatically performs the
following actions:
• Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
• Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a normal connection (such
as when you are connecting the port to a computer) or an uplink connection (such as
when you are connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).
• Automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached
device. The Auto Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections while
eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when you
attach devices.

Model GSS108E USB Charging Ports

The GSS108E switch provides two USB charging ports for tablets or smartphones.

Model GSS108EPP PoE+ Ports

The GSS108EPP switch includes four Power over Ethernet (PoE+) ports. The switch can
supply up to 30W PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) to ports 1–4, with a total maximum PoE power budget
of 47W across all active PoE+ ports.
