Connecting A Utp Cable Segment To Rj45 Port - Enterasys SecureStack A2 A2H123-24 Hardware Installation Manual

Connecting to the Network
To connect twisted pair segments to the switch, refer to Figure
follows:
1. Ensure that the device to be connected at the other end of the segment is
powered ON.
2. Connect the twisted pair segment to the switch by inserting the RJ45 connector on the
twisted pair segment into the desired RJ45 port (for example, Port 8).

Connecting a UTP Cable Segment to RJ45 Port

Â
Verify that the cabling being used is Category 5 or better with an impedance
between 85 and 111 ohms with a maximum length of 100 meters (328 feet).
properly connected to the segment.
Verify that the RJ45 connectors on the twisted pair segment have the proper
pinouts and check the cable for continuity. Typically, a crossover cable is used
between hub devices but this is not necessary. A straight‐through cable can be
used to connect between the switch and any device. Refer to Figure
Figure 3‐14 for four‐wire RJ45 connections. Refer to Figure 3‐15 and Figure
for eight‐wire RJ45 connections.
