Recommended Cables and Cable Specifications

The cable between the switch and the link partner (hub, workstation, etc.)
must be less than 100 meters (328 ft) long. 10Base-T segments can use 22, 24
or 26-gauge TP cabling that complies with IEEE 802.3 10Base-T standard for
Category 3, 4 or 5. 100Base-TX segments must use IEEE 802.3u compliant
Category 5 TP cable.
The AT-FS200 family of switches use three types of cabling:
UTP/STP cable (RJ45 connector) for both 10/100Base-TX
Fiber optics cable (ST/SC connector) for 100Base-FX
Table 6 provides an overview of IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u cabling specifications
for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 100Base-FX network configurations using
twisted-pair cable and fiber optics.
