100BASE-TX NETWORK

The fixed front panel ports of the 6H352-25 provide a connection that supports Category 5 UTP
cabling. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3u
100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet network requirements for the devices to operate at 100 Mbps. Refer to
the Enterasys Networks Cabling Guide for details.

NOTE: The fixed ports of the 6H352-25 support Category 5 UTP cabling with an
impedance between 85 and 111 ohms for 100 Mbps operation.

The 6H352-25 is capable of operating at either 10 or 100 Mbps. The 6H352-25
automatically senses the speed of the other device and adjusts its speed accordingly.
