Figure 8. Connecting devices to the switch
Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and
the attached device to 100 meters (328 feet).
To connect devices to the switch:

Using a Category 5 (Cat 5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45
connector, connect each computer to an RJ-45 network port on the switch front panel.
See the previous figure.

Step 5: Install an SFP Transceiver Module

The following procedure describes how to install an optional SFP (or SFP+) transceiver
module into one of the SFP ports of the switch.
Note: Contact your NETGEAR sales office to buy these modules. If you do
not want to install an SFP module, skip this procedure.
To install an SFP transceiver:

1. Insert the transceiver into the SFP port.
2. Press firmly on the flange of the module to seat it securely into the connector.
You can install up to three additional Gigabit or 10-Gigabit Ethernet modules using this
procedure. (The figure shows the GS752TXS Smart Switch; however, the GS728TXS
Smart Switch is connected in the same manner.)
