Required Cables
Table 11 contains the specifications of the cables required for the
twisted pair ports on the AT-8350GB Fast Ethernet switch.
Note
The ports on the AT-8350GB switch are IEEE 802.3ab-compatible
and are configured automatically by the switch as MDI or MDI-X
when connected to a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps end node. This allows
you to use either a straight-through or cross-over cable.
Note
For cabling specifications for an optional GBIC module or
expansion module, refer to the Module Installation Guide included
with the module.
