Unit Overview — Front 1-11
10BASE-T Ports
The Switch has 12 or 24 10BASE-T RJ45 ports con-
figured as MDIX (cross-over), which provide a full
10Mbps bandwidth to attached endstations. The
maximum segment length is 100m (328ft) over cat-
egory 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable.
As these ports are configured as MDIX (cross-over),
you need to use a cross-over cable to connect to
devices whose ports are MDIX-only. Most of the
10BASE-T ports in 3Com devices are MDIX-only.
100BASE-TX Port
The Switch has a single Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX
RJ45 port configured as MDIX (cross-over), which
provides a 100Mbps connection to, for example, a
local server. The maximum segment length is 100m
(328ft) over category 5 UTP or STP cable.
As this port is configured as MDIX (cross-over), you
need to use a cross-over cable to connect to devices
whose ports are MDIX-only. Most of the
100BASE-TX ports in 3Com devices are MDIX-only.
