Switch to Hub or Switch
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a normal cable.
•
A 10BASE-T hub or Switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP cable.
•
A 100BASE-TX hub or Switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable.
•
A 1000BASE-T Switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted pair Category 5e UTP/STP cable.
•
A Switch supporting a fiber optic uplink can be connected to the Switch's SFP ports via fibre-optic cabling.
