Connecting 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Networks The 10/100 ports can each be connected to either a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network. If you have both types of network, you can join them together using the Switch allowing all your workstations to communicate. Alternatively, if you use 10BASE-T and want to improve network performance by introducing 100BASE-TX technology, the Switch protects your existing workstations because it maintains 10BASE-T connections to them.
