2.3 Cabling
10/100/1000Base-T and 100Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX
All 10/100/1000Base-T ports come with Auto-Negotiation capability. They automatically support 1000Base-T, 100Base-TX
and 10Base-T networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into one of the 10/100/1000Base-T ports, and
then turn on the Industrial Managed Switch. The port will automatically run in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps and
1000Mbps or 2000Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device.
The Industrial Managed Switch has eight SFP interfaces that support 100/1000Mbps dual speed mode (optional
multi-mode/ single-mode 100Base-FX/1000Base-SX/LX SFP module)
Cabling
Each 10/100/1000Base-T port uses RJ-45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable
(UTP). The IEEE 802.3/802.3u 802.3ab Fast/Gigabit Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX.
10Base-T networks can use Cat.3, 4, 5 or 1000Base-T use 5/5e/6 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance is 100meters
(328 feet). The 100Base-FX/1000Base-SX/LX SFP slot is used as LC connector with optional SFP module. Please see table
below and know more about the cable specifications.

Any Ethernet devices like hubs/PCs can connect to the Industrial Managed Switch by using straight-through wires. The
two 10/100/1000Mbps ports are auto-MDI/MDI-X , which can be used on straight-through or crossover cable.
