and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs.

ABLING UIDELINES
The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout
configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to
connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45
connectors at both ends. Use Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections,
and Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T connections.
