2500 BASE-T/1000 BASE-T/100 BASE-TX
The 2500BASE-T/1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX port is a 100/1000/2500 Mbps port that supports auto MDI/MDIX
Crossover.
Compliant with the IEEE 802.3bz standard, 2500BASE-T requires a Category 6 (Cat 6) or Category 5e (Cat 5e)
100-ohm UTP or STP (recommended) cable with a maximum distance of 100 meters (328 feet). When PoE
power supply is used at the same time, a CAT6 STP cable is recommended, and both the port and cable should
be properly shielded.
Compliant with the IEEE 802.3ab standard, 1000BASE-T port requires a Cat 6 or Cat 5e 100-ohm UTP or STP
(recommended) cable with a maximum distance of 100 meters (328 feet). When PoE power supply is used at
the same time, a CAT6 STP cable is recommended, and both the port and cable should be properly shielded.
The 2500BASE-T/1000BASE-T port requires four pairs of wires to be connected for data transmission.
