WARNING: RJ-45 Ports. These are shielded RJ-45 data sockets. They cannot be used 
as standard traditional telephone sockets, or to connect the unit to a traditional PBX or 
public telephone network. Only connect RJ-45 data connectors, network telephony 
systems, or network telephones to these sockets.
Either shielded or unshielded data cables with shielded or unshielded jacks can be 
connected to these data sockets.
10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX 
Ports
The Switch 4500 has 24 or 48 auto-negotiating 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports 
configured as Auto MDIX (cross-over). These ports automatically provide the 
appropriate connection. Alternatively, you can manually set these ports to 
10BASE-T half-duplex, 10BASE-T full0-duplex, 100BASE-TX half-duplex or 
100BASE-TX full-duplex. The maximum segment length is 100 m (328 ft) over 
Category 5 twisted pair cable.
Gigabit Ports
Switch 4500 10/100 Ethernet models support two simultaneous Gigabit 
connections. Each switch has four Gigabit ports, arranged in two pairs called
