• Hub to Switch – A hub can be connected via a two-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or Crossover cable. For 1000Mbps operation a Category 5 cable must be used. The connection is accomplished from any port of the hub to any port of the SG5. • SG5 to Other Devices – The SG5 can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or Crossover cable. A Category 5 cable must be used for 1000Mbps operation.

The SG5 is very easy to set up; no network management is required. Just power it up and connect the cables. Keep in mind the length of an Ethernet cable from one device to another cannot exceed 100 meters. Auto MDI/MDI-X Ports All ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection. The Auto MDI/MDI-X function makes it simple to connect to the switch – just plug either a Crossover or Straight-Through CAT5 cable into any port.
