Please refer to the following for your cabling:
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 802.3at PoE+ Switch. The port will automatically run
at 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps and 1000Mbps or 2000Mbps after the
negotiation with the connected device.
Cabling
Each 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 802.3at PoE+ 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.
