Connecting network devices
Brocade devices support connections to routers, switches, and hubs from other vendors, as well as
other Brocade devices.
Connectors and cable specifications
Refer to “Cable specifications” on page 53 for cable lengths and types supported on the TurboIron
24X devices. For port pinouts, refer to “10/100/1000 Gigabit port pinouts” on page 53.
Connecting to Ethernet or fast Ethernet hubs
For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or another
Brocade device, a crossover cable is required (
Figure 10 and Figure 11 ). If the hub is equipped with
an uplink port, it will require a straight-through cable instead of a crossover cable.
NOTE
The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the
connection between two 1000Base-T ports. Therefore, a crossover cable may not be required; a
straight-through cable may work as well. For more information about this feature, refer to the
TurboIron Configuration Guide.
