Connecting Network Devices

The TigerSwitch 10/100 is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or

collision domains). It may be connected to network cards in PCs and

servers, or to hubs, switches or routers.

Note: Before connecting cables, you may want to first configure the

Spanning Tree Protocol to avoid network loops. Refer to the

Management Guide for more information.

Twisted-Pair Devices

Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45

connectors at both ends. For 100BASE-TX connections, Category 5 cable

is required; for 10BASE-T, Category 3, 4 or 5 cable can be used.

For 1000BASE-T connections, Category 5 or 5e (recommended) cable is

required with all four wire pairs connected. You should also test the cable

installation for IEEE 802.3ab compliance. See “1000BASE-T Cable

Requirements” on page B-5.

Cabling Guidelines

The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation,

so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to

any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
