Note: If a port is to operate at 100 or 1000 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used.
Category 3 cabling does not meet the 100 or 1000 Mbps specifications. For 10 Mbps
operation only, Category 3, Category 4, or Category 5 cabling can be used. Refer to
100BASE-TX Network (page 2-2) and 1000BASE-T Network (page 2-3) for information
about 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T networks and cabling.
Note: When using the fixed ports on the switch for 100 Mbps operation use Category 5
UTP cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms for 100 Mbps operation.
The fixed switch ports are capable of operating at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps. This is
accomplished by the switch when Auto-Negotiation is enabled. This enables the switch to
automatically sense the transmission speed of the other device and adjust for the speed
accordingly.
