GS108T Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Figure 4-1 Connecting Devices to the Switch
Connect each device to an RJ-45 network port on the switch's front panel (see Figure 4-1) using a
Category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors.
Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached
device to 100 m (328 ft.).

Step 5: Applying Power

Because the NETGEAR GS108T Gigabit Smart Switch has no ON/OFF switch, AC power must
be controlled by means of the power adapter. Select an appropriate unswitched, grounded AC
facility outlet so as to avoid any future inadvertent power interruptions. Use the following
procedure to apply AC power:
1. Connect the female end of the supplied IEC AC power adapter cable to the power receptacle
on the back of the switch.
2. Connect the AC power adapter cable to the DC jack.
When you apply power, the green Power LED on the switch front panel illuminates.
