Port Speeds

100/10Mbps TP Ports

Each 100/10Mbps TP port provides an Auto-Negotiation function that senses for the attached device's maximum operating speed and automatically sets the Switch to operate at that speed. Each TP port uses RJ-45 connector that allows network TP cables to be easily attached or removed. Users only need to connect a network device into any TP port and the Switch will do the rest.

Crossover Connector

The last TP port in this model supports a Crossover function. The Crossover function is used for Uplinking to a standard port on another Switch using normal TP cable.

FWarning: You cannot use the last TP port’s regular port when you are using the Crossover port.
