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 MGBIC-02 is 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.
