Connecting Network Cable
The Switch supports 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet that runs in Auto-negotiation mode, 10Mbps
Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet that runs both in half and full duplex mode, and 1000Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet that runs in full duplex mode using four pair of Category 5 Cable.
☞
Important Note:
Some Category 5 cables are only prepared with two pairs (4 wires) of
interconnection wires which are not suitable for Gigabit Ethernet over
Category 5 cables.
In order to use the full performance of this switch in Gigabit mode, please
ensure that your cabling uses four pairs (8 wires). The switch’s RJ-45 ports
are Auto-MDI and will auto negotiate between 10Mbps, 100Mbps and
1000Mbps depending on the type of cable and connection. The Switch can
auto transform to MDI-II or MDI-X, so there is no need to use cross-over
cables or an up-link port.
AC Power
The Switch uses AC power 240V AC, 50 Hz. The power switch is located at the rear of the unit
adjacent to the AC power connector and the system fan. The Switch may be turned on without
having any or all LAN segment cables connected.
