Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and
Act LEDs indicate the status of the Ethernet
connection.
•
•
Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or 6 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated
with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to 328 feet
(100 m).

Connector
A cable that is wired as T568A at one end
and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
Figure 6.
The cable you use depends on your network speed. The
switcher supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and
100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and
full-duplex Ethernet connections.

•
Link — Indicates that the switcher is properly
connected to an Ethernet LAN. This green LED
should light steadily.
Act (Activity) — Indicates transmission of data
on the RJ-45 connector. This amber LED should
flicker as the switcher communicates.
• Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables
do not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.
• Do not stretch or bend the cables because this can
cause transmission errors.

10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 or higher UTP or STP
cables.
Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e or higher UTP or STP cables.

A cable that is wired the same at both ends
is called a "straight-through" cable, because
no pin or pair assignments are swapped.
