2.1 Connecting network devices

The switch is designed to be connected to 10, 100 or 1000Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other
switches and hubs. It may also be connected to remote devices using optional SFP transceivers.

2.2 Twisted-pair devices

Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ45 connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or
6 cable for 1000BASE-T connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections.

2.3 Cabling guidelines

The RJ45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pin-out configuration, so you can use standard straight-through
twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
See Appendix B for further information on cabling.

CAUTION: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ45 port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair
cables with RJ45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.
CONNECTING TO PCS, SERVERS, HUBS AND SWITCHES
Step 1: Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device's RJ45 connector.
