2.6 Cabling Requirements
For 100BASE-TX and 1000Base-T ports
The 24 RJ-45 station ports and the 1000Base-T ports of the optional Gigabit-Copper
module require Cat. 5 twisted-pair UTP/STP cable for connection. When configuring within
the 10/100/1000BASE-T cabling architecture, the cable distance should be within 100m.
The following table summarizes the cable requirement for 10/100/1000BASE-TX
connection:
10BASE-T
100 ohm Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cable
100BASE-TX
100 ohm Category 5 UTP/STP cable
1000BASE-T
100 ohm Category 5 UTP/STP cable or better (CAT 5E
recommended)
Auto MDI/MDI-X function
The POE-FSH2422G-390 PoE Switch is equipped with Auto-MDI/MDI-X function, which
allows you to use straight-thru cable even when connecting to another switch/hub. Simply
use the straight-through cable for all types of 10/100BASE-TX connections, either to a PC
or to a networking device such as other hub or switch.
