GS910 Series Gigabit Ehternet Unmanaged Switch Installation and User’s Guide

Cabling the Switch
After installing the switch on the desktop, connect twisted pair cables to
the ports on the GS910 series switch.
When connecting a twisted pair cable to a port, observe the following
guidelines:
An RJ-45 connector should fit snugly into the port on the switch.
The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place.
The ports on the switch are auto-MDI/MDI-X. You can use a
straight-through twisted pair cable to connect any type of network
device to a port on the switch.
The network should not contain data loops, which can adversely
affect network performance. A data loop exists when two or more
network devices can communicate with each other over more than
one data path.
