Connecting Networking Devices to your Switch
Connecting your Switch to another Switch
1.
Connect a Category 5e or 6 cable between one of the numbered ports
on the front of the Switch and one of the numbered ports on the other
Switch to which you are cascading or connecting.
2.
All switch ports can automatically negotiate speeds at
full- and half-duplex modes to allow users to attach 10Base-T and
100Base-Tx network devices, network switches, or hubs.
3.

All ports support auto MDI and MDIX functionality. When cascading or

connecting switches or hubs, the user can use a straight-through or
crossover cable.
Important: When connecting two switches together, use a single cable.
If multiple cables are used, loops may occur resulting in unwanted
collisions. This will result in poor network performance.
