operation:
Category 5 or better, 100-ohm UTP or shielded
twisted-pair (STP) balanced cable. For
1000 Mbps (gigabit) operation, Category 5e

Length Limits
100 meters
Note: The Series 2600 Switches are
compatible with the IEEE 802.3ab standard
including the "Auto MDI/MDI-X" feature,
which allows use of either straight-through or
crossover twisted-pair cables for connecting
to any network devices including end nodes,
such as computers, or to other switches, hubs,
and routers.
Note: For 1000 Mbps operation, all four wire
pairs are used for data transmission, therefore
PoE is not supported for 1000 Mbps operation.
