to connect your hubs and workstations to the switch, you must use ′straight-through′ tp cables with rj-45 connectors (all officeconnect products use rj-45 type connectors). your supplier should stock suitable cables.

    a ′straight-through′ cable is one where each pin of one connector is connected to the same pin of the other connector.

    cables can be shielded (screened) or unshielded; we recommend that you use shielded cable. cables used for 100base-tx connections must be data grade (category 5). the maximum length you can use is 100m (328ft).
