Please refer to the following for your cabling:
10/100BASE-TX
All 10/100BASE-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 10/100BASE-TX ports, and then turn on the LCD
switch. The port will automatically run at 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps
after the negotiation with the connected device.
10/100/1000BASE-T
All 10/100/1000BASE-T
automatically support 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T networks. Users
only need to plug a working network device into one of the 10/100/1000BASE-T
ports, and then turn on the LCD switch. The port will automatically run at 10Mbps,
20Mbps, 100Mbps, 200Mbps or 1000Mbps after negotiating with the connected
device.
Cabling
Each of 10/100BASE-TX port and 10/100/1000BASE-T port uses RJ45 sockets --
similar to phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP).
The IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3ab Fast/Gigabit Ethernet standard requires Category
5 UTP for 100Mbps 100BASE-TX. 10BASE-T networks can use Cat.3, 4, 5 or
1000BASE-T uses 5/5e/6 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance is 100 meters
(328 feet).

Any Ethernet devices like hubs/PCs can connect to the LCD switch by using
straight-through wires. The whole 10/100/1000Mbps ports are auto-MDI/MDI-X
that can be used on straight-through or crossover cable.
