Note: The Switch 2610 Series are compatible
with the IEEE 802.3ab standard including the
"Auto MDI/MDI-X" feature, which allows use
of either straight-through or crossover
twisted-pair cables for connecting to any
network devices including end nodes, such as
computers, or to other switches, hubs, and
routers.
Note: For 1000 Mbps operation, all four wire
pairs are used for data transmission, therefore
PoE is not supported for 1000 Mbps operation.
