Managed Stackable Switch Series M4300
RJ-45 Ports, Including 1000BASE-T RJ-45 Ports
All copper RJ-45 ports support autosensing. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the
switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, or
10 Gbps) and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports
support a Category 5 (Cat 5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable or higher rated Ethernet
cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 connector.

support a Category 5 (Cat 5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable or higher rated Ethernet
cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 connector.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink
technology. This technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either
straight-through or crossover cables.

Note:
For 10GBASE-T ports, Ethernet specifications limit a Category 6
(Cat 6) cable length between the switch and the attached device to
328 feet (100 meters).

When you insert a cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch automatically performs the
following actions:

•
Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
•
Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a normal connection (such
as when you are connecting the port to a computer) or an uplink connection (such as
when you are connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).

•
Automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached
device. The Auto Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections while
eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when you
attach devices.

USB Port
The switch provides one USB 2.0 port that lets you upgrade firmware from a disk, back up
the configuration to a storage device, and allow for the collection of a memory dump for
debugging purposes.

debugging purposes.
A device that you attach to the USB port must comply with the following requirements:
•
The USB device must support USB 2.0.
•
The USB device must support the FAT32 or VFAT file type. The NTFS file type is not
supported.

Because of hardware limitations, the write and read speed to and from a USB device is about

Note:
In a stack, only the switch that functions as the master can detect and
