2. Installation of the Switch
2.5 Desktop Installation
The
POE-GSH2004L-370 has four rubber pads attached on each corner of its underside.
These pads serve as cushioning against vibration and prevent the switch from sliding off its
position. They also allow adequate ventilation space when you place the switch on top of
another device.
Desktop installation
The location you choose to install your switch and the way you configure your network
may greatly affect its performance. Please see the previous section for “installation site”
preparation.
Do not place more than 1.5kg (6.6lbs) of weight on the top of the switch.
Leave at least 10cm of space around the switch to allow proper heating dissipation.
2.6 Cabling Requirements

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
