Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches User Guide
Connection Guidelines
General
• The 470T switch is can auto-negotiate port duplex. It can operate at
half-duplex or full-duplex at 100Mbps, and full-duplex at 1000Mbps.
The switch matches the highest possible speed (up to 1000Mbps) of an
attached device.
The switch matches the highest possible speed (up to 1000Mbps) of an
attached device.
• The 470F operates at full-duplex and at 1000Mbps.
Cabling
• Use Category 5 unshielded, twisted-pair (CAT 5 UTP) cable to connect
1000Mbps or 100Mbps devices to the switch.
• Limit the cable length between devices to 100 meters (330 feet) for
copper wire.
• Use a straight-through cable to connect the switch to a server or
workstation.
• To connect to another switch or hub, use a crossover cable.
Straight-through vs. Crossover Cables
Switch ports are wired MDI-X, so use a straight-through cable to connect to
a workstation or server (network adapter cards are wired MDI). To connect
to another MDI-X port, use a crossover cable. The following pin
arrangements are for the switch’s Ethernet port and the typical RJ-45
connector. The wiring diagrams illustrate how to wire a straight-through and
crossover cable for 100Mbps and 1000Mbps devices.
