Cabling Guidelines
Switches can be cabled together through any port following the maximum IEEE standard cabling
distances outlined below.
●
When connecting a switch to another switch or hub, use a crossover cable.●
All Fast Ethernet ports can be connected to workstations, hubs, servers or other switches. To operate at
100Mbps, workstations and servers must have a Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) installed.
●
Likewise, any device connected to a Gigabit port requires a Gigabit NIC to be able to run at 1000Mbps.●
Make sure you conform to all local electrical and safety standards.●
