Connect to a Network Backbone or Server
The combo SFP ports and the 1000BASE-T ports are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone, server or server farm.
The copper ports operate at a speed of 10/100/1000Mbps in half or full duplex mode. The fiber-optic ports can operate
at both 100Mbps and 1000Mbps in full duplex mode.
You can connect to the Gigabit Ethernet ports using a fiber-optic cable or a Category 5E copper cable, depending on
the type of port. The Link LED turns green when a connection is made.
