INSTALLING THE SWITCH

Ethernet Cabling

To ensure proper operation when installing the switch 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 5e or better 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
