Table 5 contains the cabling specifications for the twisted pair ports.
Table 5. Twisted Pair Cabling and Distances
Speed
10 Mbps Category 3 or better unshielded
twisted pair cable
100 Mbps Category 5 or unshielded twisted
pair cable
1000 Mbps Four-pair Category 5e unshielded
twisted pair cable
Note
The twisted pair ports on the switch feature Auto-MDI when
operating at either 10 or 100 Mbps. Each port is individually
configured as MDI or MDI-X when connected to an end-node.
Consequently, you can use a straight-through twisted pair cable
when connecting any network device to a twisted pair port on the
switch. A port operating at 10 or 100 Mbps uses four of the eight
strands in twisted pair wiring.
