Cabling Guidelines

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 connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or
hubs).

See Appendix B for further information on cabling.

Caution: Do not plug a normal phone jack connector into an RJ-45

port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables
with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.

Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches

1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45

connector.
