Features and Benefits

Connectivity

24 or 48 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for easy Gigabit Ethernet
integration and for protection of your investment in legacy LAN
equipment.
Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the
optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) if this feature is
supported by the attached device; otherwise the port can be configured
manually.
RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T ports support auto MDI/MDI-X pinout
selection.
Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3 or
better for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better for 100 Mbps
connections, and Category 5, 5e, 6 or better for 1000 Mbps
connections.
IEEE 802.3-2002 Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and
IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet compliance ensures compatibility
with standards-based hubs, network cards and switches from any
vendor.
