Switch to Hub or Switch

These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a normal cable.

A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP cable.

A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable.

A 1000BASE-T switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted pair Category 5e UTP/STP cable.

A switch supporting a fiber-optic uplink can be connected to the Switch’s SFP ports via fiber-optic cabling.
