PowerConnect 2624 power LED FDX/HDX LEDs SPD/LNK/ACT LEDs RJ-45 ports Connecting Devices SFP port RJ-45 Switch Ports RJ-45 connectors are located on the front panel of the switch. NOTE: Ensure that Category 5E (CAT 5E) cabling is used for connecting devices at 1000-Mbps Gigabit Ethernet speed. All ports can negotiate full- and half-duplex modes automatically. These switching ports allow users to connect the switches to 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T devices. SFP Port On the 24-port switch, you can use the SFP port to connect to a device that is more than 100 meters away. However, using the SFP port disables the RJ-45 connector of port 24 on the switch. Connecting Switches to Each Other Each port supports Auto MDI and MDIX functionality. When cascading with other switches or hubs, each port can connect directly to a switch or hub with straight-through twisted-pair cable (see Figure 1-4). 8 Introduction
