Planning the Installation
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when planning the installation of
your switch.
❑ The end-nodes connected to the twisted pair ports can operate at 10
Mbps or 100 Mbps and half or full-duplex. The switch uses auto-
negotiation to determine the correct speed and duplex mode for each
port.
❑ The twisted pair port cabling must be kept away from sources of
electrical noise, such as radios, transmitters, power lines, broadband
amplifiers electrical motors, and fluorescent fixtures.
❑ Refer to Table 2 for the cabling specifications for the twisted pair
ports.
