Mbps or 100 Mbps per port. The switch matches the highest possible
speed of an attached device.
• The 460T switch can auto-negotiate port duplex and can operate at half-
duplex or full-duplex.

connecting 100 Mbps devices to the switch.
• Use Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (CAT 3, 4, or 5 UTP)
cable when connecting 10 Mbps devices to the switch.
