D-Link DES-810 User Manual - 10Mbps Ports

16

Installation

Switch. When connecting a workstation or a server running at 100Mbps, a

standard 100BASE-TX adapter must be installed.  When running at 10Mbps,

ports 1 and 2 are functionally identical to the 10Mbps ports described below.

10Mbps Ports

These ports require Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair or shielded

twisted-pair (UTP/STP) cable. They can be used to connect to individual

workstations, servers or other 10BASE-T devices.  The attached station must

be within 100 meters of the 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch.  When connecting a

workstation or a server, a standard 10BASE-T adapter must be installed.

Cable Types

Under most conditions, the ports on the 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch may use

normal straight-through cables.  Some circumstances, however, may require

the use of crossover cables (i.e., cables in which the twisted-pair outputs have

been crossed).  See Appendix B for more information on crossover cable

pinouts.  The table below describes when to use which cable type.
