Cable Quality
For all connections to the Switch, use these rules to determine the
•
For connections to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices, use
Category 5 or 5e UTP/STP cable.
•
For connections to 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T devices, use
Category 5e or better UTP/STP cable. All 1000BASE-T
connections operate in full duplex mode.
NOTE: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet cabling
is adequate for most small office environments. More
expensive STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) can also be
used, but is generally only needed where there will be
risk of strong Electromagnetic of Radio Frequency
Interference.
