Unit Overview — Front 1-7
100BASE-TX Ports
The Switch 3000 TX has eight Fast Ethernet
100BASE-TX RJ45 ports configured as MDIX
(cross-over), which provide connection to other Fast
Ethernet devices such as the SuperStack II Switch
1000. The maximum segment length is 100m
(328ft) over category 5 UTP or STP cable.
As these ports are configured as MDIX (cross-over),
you need to use a cross-over cable to connect to
devices whose ports are MDIX-only. Most of the
100BASE-TX ports in 3Com devices are MDIX-only.
