Connect to 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-SX Ports
Follow these steps:
Step 1
When you connect to servers,
workstations, IP phones, wireless
access points, and routers, insert a
straight-through, twisted four-pair,
Category 5 cable in a switch 10/100 or
10/100/1000 port. Use a crossover,
twisted four-pair, Category 5 cable
when you connect to other switches,
hubs, or repeaters.
Step 2
Insert the other cable end into an RJ-45 connector on the other device.
Step 1
Remove the dust plugs from the
100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-SX port
and the rubber caps from the MT-RJ
patch cable. Store them for future use.
Step 2
Insert an appropriate cable into a 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-SX port. Insert the
other cable end into an SC or ST port on the other device.
