Fast Ethernet Vista Ports with Built-in LEDs

All of the ports on the switch are 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports. The network access speed for the ports is automatically sensed and displayed on the front panel by the 100 Mbps LEDs.

Each port supports only unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable using an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.

Each port uses vista RJ-45 connectors that have two LEDs—the Link LED and the FDX LED.
