• RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDI-X): Eight 10/100Mbps ports;
auto-sensing for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX connections.
In general, MDI means connecting to another hub or switch while
MDI-X means connecting to a workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto
MDI/MDI-X means that the switch can connect to another switch or
workstation without changing non-crossover or crossover cabling.
•

available for the switch, as shown above. The distance for fiber
cabling can be extended up to 2 kilometers. However, the distance
for SC single-mode fiber port is 60 kilometers.
