Please refer to the followings for your cabling:
10/100/1000BASE-T
All 10/100/1000BASE-T
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 802.3at PoE+ Switch. The port will automatically run
in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps and 1000Mbps or 2000Mbps after the
negotiation with the connected device.
Cabling
Each 10/100/1000BASE-T port uses RJ45 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 uses 5/5e/6 UTP (see table
below). Maximum distance is 100 meters (328 feet).

Any Ethernet devices like hubs/PCs can connect to the 802.3at PoE+ Switch by
using straight-through wires. The whole 10/100/1000Mbps ports are auto-MDI/
MDI-X that can be used on straight-through or crossover cable.
