2.3 Cabling


10/100/1000BASE-T and 100BASE-FX/1000BASE-SX/LX
All 10/100/1000BASE-T ports come with auto-negotiation capability. They automatically support 1000BASE-T,
100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into one of the
10/100/1000BASE-T ports, and then turn on the Industrial Managed Switch. The port will automatically run in 10Mbps,
20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps and 1000Mbps or 2000Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device. The
Industrial Managed Switch has SFP interfaces that support 100/1000Mbps dual speed mode (Optional
multi-mode/single-mode 100BASE-FX/1000BASE-SX/LX SFP module)

Cabling
Each 10/100/1000BASE-T port uses RJ45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair
cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3/802.3u 802.3ab Fast/Gigabit Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps
100BASE-TX. 10BASE-T networks can use Cat.3, 4, 5 or 1000BASE-T use 5/5e/6 UTP (see table below). Maximum
distance is 100 meters (328 feet). The 100BASE-FX/1000BASE-SX/LX SFP slot is used as LC connector with optional SFP
module. Please see table below and know more about the cable specifications.
Port Type
10BASE-T Cat 3, 4, 5, 2-pair
100BASE-TX Cat.5 UTP, 2-pair
1000BASE-T Cat.5/5e/6 UTP, 2-pair
100BASE-FX
50/125µm or 62.5 / 125µm multi-mode 9/125µm single-mode
1000BASE-SX/LX 50/125µm or 62.5 / 125µm multi-mode 9/125µm single-mode
10GBASE-SR/LR 50/125µm or 62.5 / 125µm multi-mode 9/125µm single-mode
Any Ethernet devices like hubs/PCs can be connected to the Industrial Managed Switch by using straight-through wires.
The two 10/100/1000Mbps ports are auto-MDI/MDI-X, which can be used on straight-through or crossover cable.
