Maximum

Distance

The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).

Power Over

Ethernet

The 10/100Base-TX ports on the AT-8100S/24POE Switch supports
Power over Ethernet (PoE), which is a standard whereby DC power is
provided by the switch to network devices over the network twisted pair
cables. The switch supports PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and PoE+ (IEEE
802.3at). For background information, refer to “Power Over Ethernet” on
page 35.

Cable

Requirements

The cable requirements of the ports are given in Table 6.

Port Pinouts

Refer to Table 24 on page 134 for the port pinouts of the 10/100Base-TX
ports.
