Description of Hardware
1000BASE-T Ports
These ports are RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps, full and half duplex. The ports can be connected to other IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T compliant devices up to 100 m (328 ft.) away using Category 5 twisted-pair cable.
Each port also supports the IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically prevent port buffers becoming saturated.
GBIC Slots
The two slots on the switch front panel are for installing optional 5V GBIC transceivers. Note that GBIC transceivers are hot-swappable. You do not need to power off the switch before installing or removing a transceiver.
