Planning the Installation

Table 3 contains the cabling specifications for the twisted pair ports.
Table 3. Twisted Pair Cabling and Distances
Speed
10 Mbps Category 3 or better 100-ohm
shielded or unshielded twisted pair
cable
100 Mbps Category 5 or Category 5E
(Enhanced) 100-ohm shielded or
unshielded twisted pair cable
Note
The twisted pair ports on the switch feature Auto-MDI when
operating at either 10 or 100 Mbps. Each port is individually
configured as MDI or MDI-X when connected to an end-node.
Consequently, you can use either a straight-through or crossover
twisted pair cable when connecting any network device to a twisted
pair port on the switch. A port operating at 10 or 100 Mbps uses two
pairs of twisted pair wiring.
