Step 5: Connect devices to the switch
The following procedure describes how to connect devices to the switch’s RJ-45 ports.
The switch supports Auto Uplink technology, which allows you to attach devices using
either straight-through or crossover cables. Use a Category 5 (Cat 5), Cat 5e, or Cat 6
cable that is terminated with an RJ-45 connector.
Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached
device to 328 feet (100 meters).
To connect devices to the switch’s RJ-45 ports:
1. Connect a PoE or non-PoE device to an RJ-45 network port on the switch.
2.
Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
