Connecting Networking Devices to your Switch

Connecting your Switch to another Switch

1.Connect a Category 5e or 6 cable between one of the numbered ports on the front of the Switch and one of the numbered ports on the other Switch to which you are cascading or connecting.

2.All switch ports can automatically negotiate speeds at full-and half-duplex modes to allow users to attach 10Base-T, 100Base-Tx, and 1000Base-T network switches or hubs.

3.All ports support auto MDI and MDIX functionality. When cascading or connecting switches or hubs, the user can use a straight-through or crossover cable.

Important: When connecting two switches together, use a single cable. If multiple cables are used, loops may occur resulting in unwanted collisions. This will result in poor network performance.
