About Ethernet Connections

Ethernet is the most commonly used wired network protocol, with connection speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or higher. Your switch will transmit data at either 10 or 100 Mbps. The switch’s auto- negotiation feature automatically determines the rate of your network connections and uses the fastest speed available.

As you set up your network, keep in mind that power outlets, fluorescent lights, power supplies, and coiled up or extra-long cables can interfere with Ethernet transmission and also produce interference.

Use Ethernet cables to connect your adapter to devices on your network. Any Ethernet-compatible network device will have one or more high-powered Ethernet ports. Some examples of network devices are:

ORouters, gateways, or base stations, such as the Microsoft Broadband Networking Wired Base Station

OBroadband modems

OComputers with Ethernet adapters

OEthernet switches and hubs

Network components such as your 5-port switch are connected to one another by Ethernet cables. An Ethernet cable resembles a phone cord, but has larger connectors at each end. To determine whether a cable is an Ethernet or phone cable, you can count the number of wires or contacts visible in the connector at either end of the cable. Ethernet (RJ-45) connectors and cables contain eight wires, and phone (RJ-11) cables contain either four or six wires.
