NSTALLING THE
Ethernet Cabling
To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network,
make sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX operation. Check the following criteria against the current
installation of your network:
◆ Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair
(STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for
10BASE-T and Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX.
◆ Protection from radio frequency interference emissions
◆ Electrical surge suppression
◆ Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and
electromagnetic fields from data based network wiring
◆ Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields
Equipment Checklist
After unpacking the TigerSwitch 1000, check the contents to be sure you
have received all the components. Then, before beginning the installation,
