RJ-45 10/100-Mbps Switch Ports
There are either 16 or 24 RJ-45 connectors on the front panel of the switch.
The switches provide 10/100-Mbps switching ports that can sense the
10/100M speed and negotiate full or half-duplex mode automatically. These
switching ports allow users to connect the switches to 10Base-T and
100Base-TX devices.
Cascading to a Switch or Hub
Each port supports Auto MDI & MDI-X functionality. When cascading
with other switches or hubs, each port can connect directly to a switch or
hub with straight through twisted pair cable.
Connecting to Desktop Systems
By connecting a switch to desktop systems, you can form a small network.
To improve network efficiency, use 100-Mbps full-duplex operation between
the server and switch if the LAN adapter on the server can operate in full-
duplex mode.
Mounting Kit Instructions
The switch is supplied with mounting brackets and screws for rack
mounting, and rubber feet for stationing it on a flat surface.
