How to Connect to Twisted-Pair Copper Ports
– 45 –
For each attached PoE-compliant device, the switch automatically senses the load
and dynamically supplies the required power. The switch delivers power to a device
using the wire pairs in UTP or STP cable.
Connection Procedure Follow these steps to connect cables to 1000BASE-T RJ-45 twisted-pair copper
ports.
1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector.
Figure 25: Making Twisted-Pair Connections
2. Attach the other end to an available port on the switch.
Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in
length.
3. As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the switch) corresponding to
each port will turn on green to indicate that the connection is valid.
