The physical description for the switch
includes:
❑ Ports 1 through 7
❑ Port 8 and the Uplink port
❑ LEDs
❑ Power supply
Ports 1 Through 7
Ports 1 through 7 can operate at either 10 Mbps
or 100 speed and in either full- or half-duplex
mode. The ports, featuring RJ-45 connectors,
are configured as MDI-X, meaning that you can
connect a workstation or server to one of the
ports without using a crossover cable. The ports
have a maximum operating distance of 100
meters (328 feet) using Category 3, 4, or 5
shielded or unshielded twisted pair cable for 10
Mbps operation and Category 5 cable for 100
Mbps.
The ports are IEEE802.3u Auto-Negotiation
compliant. This means that the ports can
automatically configure their speed and duplex
mode to match the capabilities of the end nodes
connected to the ports.
