2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T
The 2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T port comes with auto-negotiation capability. It
automatically supports 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T and 10GBASE-T networks. Users
only need to plug a working network device into the 2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T
port, and then turn on the Media Converter. The port will automatically run at
2500Mbps,5000Mbps and 10000Mbps after the negotiation with the connected
device.
Connecting the UTP Cable
The 2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T port uses RJ45 socket -- similar to phone jack -- for
connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3bz/802.3an
Ethernet standard requires Category 5e UTP while 2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T uses
Cat5e/6/6A/7 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance is 100 meters (328
feet).

Be sure the connected network devices support MDI/MDI-X. If
it does not support, then use the crossover Category 5e/6/6A/7
cable.
