Chapter 3: Connecting the Switch
Switch to Hub or Switch
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a normal cable.
A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/
●
STP cable.
A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the switch via a twisted-pair Category 5 UTP/STP
●
cable.
A 1000BASE-T switch can be connected to the switch via a twisted pair Category 5e UTP/STP cable.
●
A switch supporting a fiber-optic uplink can be connected to the switch's SFP ports via fiber-optic
●
cabling.

or crossover cable
CAUTION
When the SFP transceiver acquires a link, the associated integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T port is disabled.
