1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-LH SFP transceivers. It may also be
connected to 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well
as to other switches and hubs.

Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45
connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T
connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3
or better for 10BASE-T connections.

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
