To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network,
make sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T,
100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria
against the current installation of your network:

◆ Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair

(STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for
10BASE-T, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5e or
better for 1000BASE-T.

◆ Protection from radio frequency interference emissions

◆ Electrical surge suppression

◆ Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and

electromagnetic fields from data based network wiring

◆ Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields
