Connection Guidelines
General
The 460T switch can auto-negotiate port speed and can operate at 10
Mbps or 100 Mbps per port. The switch matches the highest possible
speed of an attached device.
The 460T switch can auto-negotiate port duplex and can operate at half-
duplex or full-duplex.
Cabling
Use Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (CAT 5 UTP) cable when
connecting 100 Mbps devices to the switch.
Use Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (CAT 3, 4, or 5 UTP)
cable when connecting 10 Mbps devices to the switch.
Limit the cable length between devices to 100 meters (330 feet).
Use a straight-through cable to connect the switch to a server or
workstation. For more information on cabling, see pages 9 and 10.
To connect to another switch or hub use a crossover cable on any port,
or set port 1 to MDI and use a straight-through cable.
