PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

2.1

Models

The switch provides Eight (8) Gigabit copper ports. Each port is equipped with 2000 Mbps, Full-Duplex, Collision Free
Bandwidth. It's a multi-speed, versatile network device that combines Gigabit, Fast Ethernet, and Ethernet ports in a single
device.
2.2

Gigabit Ethernet Switch (19 inches case)

2.3.1 1000BASE-T

The switch is primarily used for network backbone connections.
For the 1000BASE-T TP port, it provides an Auto-Negotiation function that senses for the attached device's maximum
operating speed and automatically sets the Switch to operate at that speed. Users only need to connect a network cable into
any TP port, and the Auto-Negotiation function will do the rest.

2.3.2 Cabling

1000Mbps - To transmit at 1000Mbps requires Category 5 TP cabling that must use all Four (4) pairs twisted-pair wire for
RJ-45 connector.
100Mbps - To transmit at 100Mbps requires Category 5 TP cabling.
10Mbps - When transmitting at 10Mbps Category 3, 4 or 5 TP cabling with RJ-45 sockets can be used.
