model you purchased) to connect any compatible network device to the TX/RX jacks on the fiber optic port.

Note: The EH3012-TF-SC provides an SC-type fiber connector.

The EH3012-TF-ST provides an ST-type fiber connector.

Making RJ-45 Connections

1.Prepare category 5 straight-through twisted-pair cable (100W) with RJ-45 plugs at both ends.

2.If you are making a connection to a server or workstation (i.e., a dedicated connection to an end-node device), be sure that it has a properly installed 100BASE-TX network interface card. Attach one end of the cable to an MDI-Xstation port on the hub and the other end to the RJ-45 port of the device’s network interface card.

If you are connecting to a network interconnection device, attach one end of the cable to Port 12 on the hub (and set the switch to MDI crossover mode, see Fig. 4-1) and the other end to an MDI-Xstation port on the other device (or vice versa). When cascading to devices other than this hub, please refer to the accompanying documentation for restrictions on cascade size and cable length

ΙDo not plug a phone jack connector into the RJ-45 port. This may damage the hub. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.

Making Fiber Optic Connections

1.Prepare a fiber optic cable with the required connector types (i.e., SC or ST) at both ends.

2.If you are making a connection to a server or workstation, be sure it that has a properly installed 100BASE-FX network interface card. Connect the RX/TX jacks on the target device to the TX/RX jacks on the hub.

12se specifications

Accton Technology, a prominent player in the networking industry, has developed a range of high-performance switches designed to meet the demands of modern network infrastructures. Among their notable products are the EH3012C and EH3008C switches, equipped with advanced features that cater to various networking needs.

The EH3012C is a 12-port managed switch that offers a robust solution for enterprise networks. One of its standout features is its support for Layer 2/Layer 3 switching, providing flexibility for users to implement different networking protocols as needed. This switch is designed with scalability in mind, featuring high bandwidth capacities and low latency, making it suitable for high-traffic environments. Its advanced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities allow for efficient traffic management, ensuring that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth for optimal performance.

On the other hand, the EH3008C is an 8-port managed switch that serves as an ideal solution for small to medium-sized networks. With support for PoE (Power over Ethernet), the EH3008C significantly simplifies deployment by allowing devices such as IP cameras and access points to receive power directly through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies and reduces clutter.

Both switches utilize advanced security features, including VLANs, port security, and Access Control Lists (ACLs), ensuring that sensitive data is protected against unauthorized access. Additionally, they support SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for comprehensive monitoring and management, allowing administrators to maintain control over their network environments efficiently.

Integrating advanced technologies like SDN (Software-Defined Networking), Accton’s switches enable businesses to future-proof their network architecture. The EH3012C and EH3008C can easily adapt to evolving network demands, providing just the right mix of performance, security, and management capabilities. Furthermore, their energy-efficient designs contribute to reduced operational costs, making them a sustainable choice for organizations looking to minimize their environmental impact.

In summary, Accton Technology's EH3012C and EH3008C switches deliver powerful, feature-rich solutions tailored to both large and smaller networks. With their versatile management options, enhanced security features, and support for emerging technologies, these switches stand out as indispensable tools for building resilient and efficient networking infrastructures.
