Connecting networking cables
Connecting twisted pair cables
The 10/100Base-TX ports, 1000Base-T ports, and 10GBase-T ports on your gateway use RJ-45
connectors and support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. Use category-6A or category-7 twisted pair cables
to connect 10GBase-T ports and category-5 or above to connect other ports. For more information
about twisted pair cables, see "
To connect a 10/100Base-TX, a 1000Base-T port, or a 10GBase-T port to a peer device:
1.
Plug one end of a twisted pair cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet port on the gateway.
2.
Plug the other end of the twisted pair cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet port of the network access
device.
3.
Examine the port LEDs to verify the connection after the gateway is powered on.
For more information about the LED status, see "
