Cabling and Voltage Requirements
This section describes the cabling and voltage requirements of the
Switch.
Cabling Requirements
100Base-TX requires data-grade (Category 5) UTP (unshielded twisted-
pair) cable.
▲ Important! Some installations have Category 5
cabling but do not have wall outlets and/or wiring
closet punch-down blocks that meet Category 5 require-
ments.
100Base-TX requires that all wiring and accessories
meet EIA/TIA 568B specifications for proper operation.
When wiring a 100Base-TX network, make sure that the
entire cable plant meets specifications.
Voltage Requirements
▲ Important! Check the AC power line voltage used in
your area. The AC power adapter included with your
Switch must match the power supply voltage used in
your area.
❏ AC input power: Equal to the AC power voltage
used in your area
