Switch-to-switch Connections
In making a switch interconnection, you could use any port to
connect another switch with straight or crossover cable. As all the
ports support auto-uplink (MDI / MDI-X) function, using a
straight cable to make a switch-to-switch connection is
allowed.
Cable Selection
Refer to the following table:
Network Speed Cable Type Max. Length
10Mbps Cat. 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP 100 meters

Note: To prevent costly equipment damage and downtime, please
