3.1Making Copper Port (RJ-45) Connections

The copper ports support the following connection types and distances:

Network Cables

10BASE-T: 2-pair UTP Cat. 3,4,5 , EIA/TIA-568B 100-ohm

100BASE-TX: 2-pair / 4-pair UTP Cat. 5, EIA/TIA-568B 100-ohm

Link distance: Up to 100 meters

Auto MDI/MDI-X Function

This function allows the port to auto-detect the twisted-pair signals and adapts itself to form a valid MDI to MDI-X connection with the remote connected device automatically. No matter a straight through cable or crossover cable connected, the ports can sense the receiving pair automatically and configure self to match the rule for MDI to MDI-X connection. It simplifies the cable installation.

Auto-negotiation Function

The ports are featured with auto-negotiation function and full capability to support connection to any Ethernet devices. The port performs a negotiation process for the speed and duplex configuration with the connected device automatically when each time a link is being established. If the connected device is also auto-negotiation capable, both devices will come out the best configuration after negotiation process. If the connected device is incapable in auto-negotiation, the switch will sense the speed and use half duplex for the connection.
