Switch to Hub or Switch
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a normal cable.
•
A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP cable.
•
A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable.

Connecting To Network Backbone or Server
The two Mini-GBIC combo ports are ideal for unlinking to a network backbone or server. The copper ports operate at a speed of
1000, 100 or 10Mbps in full or half duplex mode. The fiber optic ports can operate at 1000Mbps in full duplex mode.
Connections to the Gigabit Ethernet ports are made using fiber optic cable or Category 5 copper cable, depending on the type of
port. A valid connection is indicated when the Link LED is lit.
