All high-performance N-Way Ethernet ports can support both MDI-II and MDI-X connections.
Switch to End Node
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and routers.
An end node connects to the Switch via a twisted-pair UTP/STP cable. Connect the end node to any of the
1000BASE-T ports of the Switch. The Link/Act LEDs for each Ethernet port turns green or amber when the link is
active. A blinking LED indicates packet activity on that port.

There is a great deal of flexibility on how connections are made using the appropriate cabling.
•
Connect a 10BASE-T switch port to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP cable.
•
Connect a 100BASE-TX switch port to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable.
•
Connect 1000BASE-T switch port to the Switch via a twisted pair Category 5e UTP/STP cable.
•
Connect switch supporting a fiber-optic uplink to the Switch’s SFP ports via fiber-optic cabling.
