D-Link dgs-1008d/i2 [17/32] Connecting to network backbone or server

D-Link DGS-1008D Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch

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 UTP/STP

cable.

• A 1000BASE-T switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair Category 5e UTP/STP cable.

Figure 3-2. Switch connected to a port on a hub or switch using either a straight or crossover cable–

any normal cable is fine

Connecting To Network Backbone or Server

Any of the eight Gigabit Ethernet ports are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone or network server. These

ports operate at 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode.
