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

10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX Ports
The Switch has 24 or 48 auto-negotiating 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports
configured as Auto MDIX (cross-over). While auto-negotiation is enabled,
these ports can automatically detect whether they need to operate in
MDI or MDIX mode. Alternatively, you can manually set these ports to
10BASE-T half duplex, 10BASE-T full 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.

10/100/1000BASE-T
Ports
The Switch has two auto-negotiating 10/100/1000BASE-T ports
configured as Auto MDIX (cross-over). While auto-negotiation is enabled,
these ports can automatically detect whether they need to operate in
MDI or MDIX mode. These ports provide 10/100/1000 Mbps full duplex
connections to other Gigabit Ethernet devices. Full duplex allows packets
to be transmitted and received simultaneously which, in effect, doubles
the potential throughput of a link. These ports require either
straight-through or cross-over Category 5 cables with RJ-45 connectors at
both ends. The maximum UTP cable length is 100 m (328 ft) over
Category 5 cable.

SFP Ports
This section applies to the SuperStack 3 Switch 4200 28-Port only.
The two SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) ports support fiber Gigabit
Ethernet short-wave (SX), long-wave (LX), long-haul (LH70) and
Ethernet short-wave (SX), long-wave (LX), long-haul (LH70) and
copper (T) transceivers in any combination. This offers you the flexibility
of using SFP transceivers to provide connectivity between the Switch and
remote 1000 Mbps workgroups or to create a high capacity aggregated
link backbone connection.

The SFP ports are capable of auto-negotiating flow control. As the speed
and duplex modes are fixed by the media type, only the flow control is
