Cabling Guidelines
The RJ-45 ports on the switch supports automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout
configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables
to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or
hubs).
See Appendix B for further information on cabling.
Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port.
This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with
RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.
Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches
1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45
connector.
Figure 4-1 Making Twisted-Pair Connections
2. If the device is a PC card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach
the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is
connected to the wiring closet. (See “Network Wiring Connections”
on page 4.) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the
switch.
