Do not place heavy objects on top of the switch.
The location must preferably be free from excessive dust, away from heat vent, hot-air exhaust
and direct sunlight.
The switch should not be placed near large electric motors or other strong electromagnetic
sources. As a reference, the strength of the electromagnetic field on site should not exceed the
(RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2(3V/M) field strength.
The air temperature in the location should be within a range of 32 to 122 °F (0 to 55°C).
The relative humidity in the location should not exceed 95% non-condensing humidity.
The distance between the RJ-45 port and the standard network interface should not exceed 100
meters.
Adequate space should be allowed in front of all the ports, so that each port is easily accessible
for cable connections.
Cabling Guide
For 100BASE-TX and 1000Base-T ports
The 24 10/100Mbps and 2 Gigabit station ports require Cat. 5 twisted-pair UTP/STP cable for
connection. When configuring within the 10/100BASE-TX cabling architecture, the cable distance
should be within 100m.
The following table summarizes the cable requirement for 10/100/1000BASE-T connection:
10BASE-T
100 ohm Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cable
100BASE-TX
100 ohm Category 5 UTP/STP cable
1000Base-T
100 ohm Category 5 UTP/STP cable
Auto MDI/MDI-X function
The SNMP-FSH2402GT is equipped with Auto-MDI/MDI-X function, which allows you to use
straight-thru cable even when connecting to another switch/hub. Simply use the straight-through
cable for all types of 10/100/1000BASE-T connections, either to a PC or to a networking device
such as other hub or switch.
