Cable Specifications

Table 5 contains the cable specifications for the twisted pair ports.

Table 5. Twisted Pair Cabling and Distances

Speed
10 Mbps Standard TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant
Category 3 or better shielded or
unshielded cabling with 100 ohm
impedance and a frequency of 16
MHz.
100 Mbps Standard TIA/EIA 568-A-compliant
Category 5 or TIA/EIA 568-B-
compliant Enhanced Category 5
(Cat 5e) shielded or unshielded
cabling with 100 ohm impedance
and a frequency of 100 MHz.
1000 Mbps Standard TIA/EIA 568-A-compliant
Category 5 or TIA/EIA 568-B-
compliant Enhanced Category 5
(Cat 5e) shielded or unshielded
cabling with 100 ohm impedance
and a frequency of 100 MHz.
Note
The twisted pair ports on the switch feature auto-MDI when
operating at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. A port is configured as MDI or
MDI-X when it is connected to an end node. Consequently, you can
use a straight-through twisted pair cable when connecting any type
of network device to a port on the switch.
