Page 17: Introducing The Zyxel Device
AX7501-B0 • PX7501-B0 The EX5501-B0 is an Ethernet gateway which provides fast Internet access. It has one 2.5 Gbps Multi- Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) WAN port that is backward compatible with standard Gigabit speed. See Section 1.1.1 on page 18 for more information on Multi-Gigabit Ethernet. It also has four 1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports.
Page 18: Multi-Gigabit Ethernet
Multi-Gigabit Ethernet ports automatically allow connections up to the speed of the connected network device (100 Mbps (not supported on EX5501-B0), 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps), and you just need to use a Cat 5, Cat 5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cable.
