Notice:
Cable distance for Switch
The cable distance between the SGSW-2620 and hub/PC should not exceed 100 meter for UTP/STP
cable, 220m(721 feet) for 62.5/125µm fiber cable and 550m(1800 feet) for 50/125µm fiber cable on
Mini-GBIC 1000Base-SX module, 550m(1800 feet) for 62.5/125µm and 50/125µm fiber cable and
10/50/70km for 9/125µm fiber cable on Mini-GBIC 1000Base-LX module.
Make sure the wiring is correct
It can be used Category 3/4/5 cable in 10 Mbps operation. To reliably operate your network at 100Mbps
and 1000Mbps, you must use an Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) Category 5 cable, or better Data Grade
cabling. While a Category 3 or 4 cables may initially seem to work, it will soon cause data loss.
2.3.3 Connecting to Network Backbone or Server
Connect to the Gigabit Ethernet ports with Category 5 copper cable or for uplinking to a network
backbone or network server. These ports operate at 1000Mbps in full-duplex mode. A valid connec-
tion is indicated when the Link/Act LED is light.
2.3.4 Rack Mounting
To install the Switch in a 19-inch standard rack, follow the instructions described below.
1. Step1: Place your SGSW-2620 Switch on a hard flat surface, with the front panel positioned towards your front
side.
2. Step2: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Switch with supplied screws attached to the package. Figure
2-3 shows how to attach brackets to one side of the Switch.
Caution:
You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect
screws would invalidate your warranty.
3.Step3: Secure the brackets tightly.
4. Step4: Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side.
5. Step5: After the brackets are attached to the Switch, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack,
as shown in Figure 2-4
When the Switch receives power, the Power LED should remain solid Green.
