The EZ Switch™ 10/100/1000, SMC8516T, is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for delivering Gigabit connectivity to the desktop. It provides 16 full-duplex 1000BASE-T ports that significantly improve network performance and boost throughput for high-bandwidth applications. With 32 Gigabits of aggregate bandwidth, this switch provides the quickest solution to meeting the growing demands on your network’s limited resources.
Front Panel RJ-45 Ports The EZ Switch 10/100/1000 features 16 1000BASE-T ports with RJ-45 connectors located on the front panel of the switch. Because all ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.

• Switch port, network card or cable may be defective. Possible Solutions • Check that the switch and attached device are both powered on. • Be sure the network cable is connected to both devices. • Verify that Category 5 or better cable is used for 10/100 Mbps connections, Category 5 or 5e cable for 1000 Mbps connections, and that the length of any cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Because all ports on this switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of the cable.

1000BASE-T Cable Requirements All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is recommended that for all critical connections, or any new cable installations, 4-pair Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) cable should be used.
