1. Prepare the Installation Site
■
Cabling Infrastructure
- Ensure the cabling infrastructure meets the
necessary network specifications. See the following table for cable types
and lengths, and see appendix B,
“Switch Ports and Network Cables”
for
more information:
Table 2-1.

Twisted-Pair Cables
10/100/1000Base-T
For either 10, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps
operation:
100 meters
Category 5 or better, 100-ohm UTP or shielded
twisted-pair (STP) balanced cable. For
1000 Mbps (gigabit) operation, Category 5e
cabling or better is recommended.
Note:
The Series 2600 Switches are
compatible with the IEEE 802.3ab standard
including the “Auto MDI/MDI-X” feature,
which allows use of either straight-through or
crossover twisted-pair cables for connecting
to any network devices including end nodes,
such as computers, or to other switches, hubs,
and routers.
Note:
For 1000 Mbps operation, all four wire
pairs are used for data transmission, therefore
PoE is not supported for 1000 Mbps operation.
