Chapter 4: Making Network Connections 
Connecting Network Devices 
The MR2228-S2C is designed to be connected to 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps network 
cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs. It may also be 
connected to remote devices using optional 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 
1000BASE-LH SFP transceivers. 
Twisted-Pair Devices 
Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 
connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T 
connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 
or better for 10BASE-T connections. 
Cabling Guidelines 
The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, 
so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any 
other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs). See Appendix B 
for further information on cabling. 
!WARNING!: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will 
damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that 
conform to FCC standards. 
Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches 
1.  Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 
connector.
