AT-8000/8POE Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide

Cabling

Table 6 contains the cabling specifications for the twisted pair ports.

Note

The twisted pair ports on the switch feature auto-MDI when

operating at 10 or 100 Mbps. Each port is individually configured as

MDI or MDI-X when connected to an end node. Consequently, you

can use either a straight-through or crossover twisted pair cable

when connecting any network device to a twisted pair port on the

switch.
