Site Preparation. Ensure that the cabling infrastructure meets the
network specifications for your intended use of the Switch 800T.
• For 100Base-TX transceivers used in the Switch 800T, use category 5,
four-pair, 100 ohm UTP (unshielded twisted-pair) cables. Cable
lengths can be up to 100 meters. For a connection to an end node, use
straight-through cable. For a connection to a hub or a switch, use a
crossover cable.
• For 100Base-FX transceivers used in the Switch 800T, use fiber
optical cables that:
– Are fitted with type SC connectors
– Conform to ISO/IEC 793-2 type B1 and ITU-T G.652 standards
Ensure that the power source circuits are adequate and properly
grounded. That is, ensure that any Switch 800T installation , together with
any other devices, does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-
current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply
circuits, add together the ampere ratings from the nameplates of all
devices installed on the same circuits and compare the total with the
rating limits for the supply circuits. For additional information, refer to
appendix B, "Specifications".
