VOLKTEK NSH-5509 MANAGED 8-PORT 10/100 + 1-PORT 100-FX SWITCH
2.2 Connectors
The Switch utilizes ports with copper and fiber port connectors functioning under
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet standards.
2.2.1 10/100Base-TX Ports
The 10/100BASE-TX ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and
can operate in half- and full-duplex transfer modes. These ports also offer automatic
MDI/MDI-X crossover detection that delivers true “plug-n-play” capability – just plug the
network cables into the ports and the ports will adjust according to the end-node devices.
The following cabling is recommended for the RJ-45 connectors: (1)10Mbps – Cat 3 or
better; (2)100Mbps – Cat 5 or better.
2.2.2 100Base-FX Port
The 100Base-FX port adds a fiber Fast Ethernet link to your network device. Compliant
with IEEE 802.3u, this port can transmit data at 100Mbps in full-duplex mode across
distances of up to 2km (with multi-mode) and up to 120km (with single-mode fiber-optic
cable). The fiber ports have a choice of 2 fiber connector types: ST and SC.
