2.3 Cabling


10/100/1000Base-T and 100Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX
All 10/100/1000Base-T ports come with Auto-Negotiation capability. They automatically support 1000Base-T, 100Base-TX
and 10Base-T networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into one of the 10/100/1000Base-T ports, and
then turn on the Managed Switch. The port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps and
1000Mbps or 2000Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device. The Managed Switch has eight SFP interfaces
that support 100/1000Mbps dual speed mode (Optional multi-mode/ single-mode 100Base-FX/1000Base-SX/LX SFP
module)

Cabling
Each 10/100/1000Base-T port uses RJ-45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair
cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3/802.3u 802.3ab Fast/Gigabit Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps
100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks can use Cat.3, 4, 5 or 1000Base-T use 5/5e/6 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance
is 100meters (328 feet). The 100Base-FX/1000Base-SX/LX SFP slot is used as LC connector with optional SFP module.
Please see table below and know more about the cable specifications.

Any Ethernet devices like hubs/PCs can be connected to the Managed Switch by using straight-through wires. The two
10/100/1000Mbps ports are auto-MDI/MDI-X, which can be used on straight-through or crossover cable.
