Maximum Distance
Each twisted pair port has a maximum operating distance of 100 m (328
ft).
Type of Cabling
For 10 Mbps operation on the twisted pair ports, Category 3 or better
100 ohm shielded or unshielded twisted pair cabling is required. For 100
or 1000 Mbps operation on the twisted pair ports, Category 5 and
Enhanced Category 5 (5E) 100 ohm shielded or unshielded twisted pair
cabling is required.
Auto-MDI
All of the twisted pair ports on the switch are auto-MDI and IEEE
802.3ab-compatible. They automatically configure themselves as either
MDI or MDI-X when operating at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. This feature
allows you to use either straight-through or crossover twisted pair
cables to connect devices to the ports.
Duplex Mode
Each twisted pair port on the switch can operate in either half- or full-
duplex mode. The twisted pair ports are IEEE 802.3u-compliant and will
Auto-Negotiate the duplex mode setting by default. If the end node
connected to a twisted pair port on the switch is capable of full-duplex
operation, the switch sets the port to full-duplex. If the end node is
capable of only half-duplex, the port is set to half-duplex.
If desired, Auto-Negotiation on one or all of the twisted pair ports can be
disabled so that you can set the duplex mode manually through the
switch's management software.
