100BASE-TX Network
When connecting a 100BASE‐TX segment to one of the fixed ports (1 through 24 on the A2H123‐24) use Category 5 UTP cabling. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3‐2005 100BASE‐TX Fast Ethernet network requirements for the SecureStack A2 to operate at 100 Mbps.
Note: When using the RJ45 ports on the SecureStack A2 for 100 Mbps operation use
Category 5 UTP cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms.
The fixed SecureStack A2 ports are capable of operating at 10 and 100 Mbps. This is accomplished by the SecureStack A2 when
100BASE-FX Network
The fixed LC connector ports provide fiber‐optic connections operating at 100 Mbps. The device at the other end of the fiber‐optic connection must meet IEEE 802.3‐2005 Fast Ethernet requirements for the devices to operate at Fast Ethernet speed.
1000BASE-T Network
The RJ45 fixed front panel stacking port connectors support RJ45 copper 1000BASE‐T compliant connections. When connecting a 1000BASE‐T segment to one of the RJ45 fixed ports use Category 5 UTP cabling. In standalone mode, the stack ports may be user configured to serve as a standard switch port allowing Gigabit uplink to the network. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3‐2005 1000BASE‐T Gigabit Ethernet network requirements for the devices to operate at
1000 Mbps.
