Note
For more information on 1000Base-SX and 1000Base-LX link
characteristics, refer to the IEEE 802.3z, Section 38 specification.
If you are installing an AT-9006T Switch, please observe the following
rules and guidelines:
# The ports on the AT-9006T Switch are IEEE 802.3ab compatible
and are configured automatically as MDI or MDI-X when
connected to an end node. No crossover cables are required.
# For 100 Mbps operation, you can use Category 5 or Enhanced
Category 5.
# For 1000 Mbps operation, you should use Enhanced Category 5
twisted pair cabling for the entire run between switch port and
end node. Alternatively, you can use Category 5 for the horizontal
run and Enhanced Category 5 for the patch cables and outlets.
# In 1000 Mbps operation, all four wire pairs are used for
transmission.
