xStack® DES-3200 Series Layer 2 Ethernet Managed Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Switch to Hub or Switch
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a normal cable.
A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5 or 5e UTP/STP
cable.
A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 5 or 5e UTP/STP
cable.
A 1000BASE-T switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted pair Category 5e UTP/STP cable.
A switch supporting a fiber-optic uplink can be connected to the Switch’s SFP ports via fiber-optic cabling.

NOTICE: When the SFP transceiver acquires a link, the associated integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T
port is disabled.
