Connecting To Network Backbone or Server

The combo SFP ports and the 1000BASE-T ports are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone, server or server farm. The copper ports operate at a speed of 1000, 100 or 10Mbps in full or half duplex mode. The fiber-optic ports can operate at 1000Mbps in full duplex mode only.

Connections to the Gigabit Ethernet ports are made using a fiber-optic cable or Category 5e copper cable, depending on the type of port. A valid connection is indicated when the Link LED is lit.
