Ethernet Cabling

To ensure proper operation when installing the switches into a network,

make sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T,

100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria

against the current installation of your network:

• Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP)

cables with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T,

Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5, 5e or 6 for

1000BASE-T.

• Protection from radio frequency interference emissions

• Electrical surge suppression

• Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and

electromagnetic fields from data based network wiring

• Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields
