Features and Benefits

Connectivity

• 24/48 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for easy Gigabit Ethernet integration
and for protection of your investment in legacy LAN equipment.
• Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the
optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) if this feature is
supported by the attached device; otherwise the port can be configured
manually.
• RJ-45 ports support auto MDI/MDI-X pinout selection.
• Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3 or
better for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better for 100 Mbps
