Cable Quality
For all connections to the Switch, use these rules to determine the
• For connections to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices, use
Category 5 or 5e UTP/STP cable.
• For connections to 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices, use
Category 5e or better UTP/STP cable. All 1000BASE-T connections
operate in full duplex mode.
NOTE: All Ethernet ports auto-detect MDI-II/MDI-X,
port speed (10, 100, 1000Mbps) and duplex of the
device connected to the Switch.
NOTE: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet
cabling is adequate for most small office environments.
More expensive STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) can also
be used, but is generally only needed where there will
be risk of strong Electromagnetic of Radio Frequency
Interference.
