Connecting Ethernet Switch to System
The Series 400 10-Port Ethernet Switch connects Ethernet devices using both CAT5e copper wire and armored fiber
optic cable. Copper wire communication ports conform to 10/100Base-Tx standards and the fiber ports conform to
10/100Base-Fx standards. The Series 400 7-Port Ethernet Switch connects Ethernet devices using
only CAT5e
copper wire.
