Figure 3. End node or Hub or Switch connectionNotice:Cable distance for Switch

The cable distance between Ethernet Switch and hub/PC should not exceed 100 meter for UTP/STP cable.

Make sure the wiring is correct

It can be used Category 3/4/5 cable in 10 Mbps operation. To reliably operate your network at 100Mbps and 1000Mbps, you must use an Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) Category 5 cable, or better Data Grade cabling. While a Category 3 or 4 cable may initially seem to work, it will soon cause data loss.

2.3.3 Connecting to Network Backbone or Server

Connect to the Gigabit Ethernet ports with Category 5 copper cable for uplinking to a network backbone or network server. These ports operate at 1000Mbps in full-duplex mode. A valid connection is indicated when the Link LED is light.
