Cabling
RJ-45 ports: Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair
(STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100Ω Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections or 100Ω Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections. Be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
100BASE-FX fiber port: Multi-mode fiber connector types must use 50/125 or 62.5/125 ∝m multi-mode fiber cable. Two devices may be connected over a 2 kilometer distance. Single-mode fiber connector types must use 9/125 ∝m single-mode fiber cable. Two devices may be connected over a15 to 60 kilometer distance in full duplex operation in single-mode.
1000BASE-SX fiber port: Multi-mode fiber connector types must use 50/125 ∝m multi-mode fiber cable for 500 meters or 62.5/125 ∝m multi- mode fiber cable for 220 meters. Two devices may be connected over 220m to 500m distances.
