2.2.1 Ports Speed

n 100Base-TX

All 100Base-TX ports come with auto-negotiation capability.
They automatically support 100Base-TX and 10Base-T
networks. Users only need to plug a working network device
into one of the 100Base-TX ports, then turn on the switch.
The port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps,
100Mbps or 200Mbps after the negotiation with the con­nected device.

2.2.2 Cabling

100Base-TX ports use RJ-45 sockets -- similar to phone
jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP).
The IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard requires Category 5
UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks can use
Cat.3, 4, or 5 UTP (see table A)

Port Type Cable Type Connector
10Base-T

100Base-TX

Cat 3, 4, 5 RJ-45
Cat.5/5e UTP RJ-45

Table A: Supported port list

2.2.3 Auto-MDI/MDI-X

Each numbered port of FNSW-3200 is MDI/MDI-X port.
Which automatically detects straight-through/ crossover ca­ble types. You can direct use straight cable for the connection
to your workstation or other end nodes. Either straight or
cross-over cable can be used to connect switch, hub or end
nodes without any hassle.
