Chapter 4: Making Network Connections

The V2H124-24 switch is designed to be connected to 10 or 100 Mbps network

cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs. It may also be

connected to remote devices using the optional 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-T/SFP

modules.

Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors

at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T connections, Category

5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T

connections.

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.

Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the

switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to

FCC standards.
