Live-GSH8T Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Copper-wired Gigabit Connection
Each Gigabit port should utilize a twisted-pair straight-through cable with a RJ-45 connector to
connect to another Gigabit RJ-45 port on other Gigabit networking device. Gigabit Ethernet use all
4 pairs of the UTP cable. We recommend Cat.5E or better UTP/STP cable for Gigabit connection.
Transmission Modes
Copper-wired Gigabit ports (1000BASE-T Transmission)
• 2000Mbps/FDX
• 200Mbps/FDX
• 100Mbps/HDX
• 20Mbps/FDX
• 10Mbps/HDX
Note:
The Gigabit port can operate both in half/full-duplex mode in 10/100BASE-TX transmission, but
can only operate in full duplex mode in 1000BASE-T transmission.
Centralized Server Farms
Server farms refer to the placement of departmental servers in a data center, where they can be
provided with consolidated backup uninterrupted power supply, and a proper operating
environment.
The trend toward server farm architecture has accelerated recently and is expected to continue in
order to ease administrative costs.
