Power Notice:
1. The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If your
networks should active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power
Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your switch
from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the Switch or the power
adapter.
2.3 Hardware Installation
2.3.1 Connecting end node or hub or switch
1. Place the Switch on a smooth surface or fasten the mounting brackets with the
provided screws in a standard 19” rack.
2. Connect switch or PC to one port of the Switch using Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP
cabling.
3. Connect another switch or PC to the other port of Switch by following the same
process as described in Step 2.
Notice:
Cable distance for Switch
The cable distance between Ethernet Switch and hub/PC should not exceed 100 meter
for UTP/STP cable, 220m for 62.5/125 fiber cable and 550m for 50/125 fiber cable if
use 1000Base-SX module, 550m for 62.5/125 or 50/125 fiber cable and 10km for 9/125
fiber cable if use 1000Base-LX module.
Make sure the wiring is correct
It can be used Category 3/4/5 cable in 10 Mbps operation. To reliably operate your
network at 100Mbps and 1000Mbps, you must use an Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP)
Category 5 cable, or better Data Grade cabling. While a Category 3 or 4 cables may
initially seem to work, it will soon cause data loss.
2.3.2 Connecting to Network Backbone or Server
Connect to the Gigabit Ethernet ports with Category 5 copper cable or fiber optic cable for
uplinking to a network backbone or network server. These ports operate at 1000Mbps in
full-duplex mode. A valid connection is indicated when the 1000 or LNK LED is on.
