Connecting to Your Network
Cabling
y First, ensure the power of the switch and end devices is turned off.
<NOTE> Always ensure that the power is off before any installation.
y Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port in use.
<NOTE> To connect two regular RJ-45 ports between switches or hubs,
you need a cross-over cable.
y Consult Table 3 below for cabling requirements based on connectors and
speed.
y Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a desired
device.
y Once the connections between two end devices are made successfully, turn on
the power and the switch is operational.
Cable Length
The maximum distance between a node and a directly connected switch port on a
100BaseFX network is 75 km using 10/125µm single-mode fiber optic cable. It is
capable of spanning at most 2 kilometers when use of 62.5/125µm multi-mode
fiber-optic cable.
