Cables

Depending on the connection speed, use the proper UTP cables:

Speed	Cables used	Distance
100M	Cat. 5, 5e, or higher grade	100	meters
10M	Cat. 3, 4, 5, 5e, or higher grade 100		meters

Auto-MDI-XFunction

An Auto-MDI-X function will automatically detect if a crossover is re- quired and make the swap of Tx pair and Rx pair internally. With this function, straight-through cable can be used for any connection. MDI to MDI-X connection rule is not necessary anymore. In the switches, all TP ports are equipped with this function. You can use just straight-through type of cables for all your connections.
