Cabling
Each 10/100Base-TX port uses RJ-45 sockets for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE
802.3u Fast Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks can use
Cat.3, 4, or 5 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance is 100meters (328 feet).
Port Type
10Base-T
100Base-TX
Any Ethernet devices like hubs/ PCs can connect to the ES2001-4P-4T by using the appropriate cable. The
eight-10/100Mbps ports are auto-MDI/MDI-X and can be used with 'straight-through' or 'crossover' cables.

Specification.
Step 4: Connect your Switch to 802.3af compatible Power Devices (PD) and other network devices.
A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the 10/100 RJ-45 ports on the front of the Switch.
B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such as printer servers, workstations or routers...etc.
