3.3 Product Applications
3.3.1 Connecting end node or Switch
1. Place the FSD-808P on a smooth surface or fasten the mounting brackets
purchased separately with the provided screws in a standard 19” rack.
2. Connect the power cord to the power inlet socket of the FSD-808P and the other
end into the local power source outlet. When the Switch receives power, the
Power LED should remain solid Green.
3. Connect the other switch or PC to one port of the FSD-808P using Category
3/4/5/5e UTP/STP cabling.
4. Connect another switch or PC to the other port of the FSD-808P by following the
same process as described in Step 3.

Note
Cable Distance for Switch
The cable distance between the FSD-808P and PC should not
exceed 100 meters for UTP/STP cable.
Make sure the wiring is correct
Category 3/4/5 cable can be used for 10Mbps operation. To
reliably operate your network at 100Mbps, you must use an
Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) Category 5/5e cable, or better Data
Grade cabling. While a Category 3 or 4 cable may initially seem
to work, it will soon cause data loss.
