compatible with the switch transceiver support.

2. If the SFP slot is covered with a rubber protective cap, remove the cap and keep it for later replacement.

3. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector facing down. Note

that SFP transceivers are keyed so they can only be installed in the correct orientation.

NOTE SPF transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off

before installing or removing the transceiver.

20 EX-3524/EX-3548 Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Switch

4. Slide the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. If you do not immediately connect a cable to the

port, use a rubber protective cap to keep the transceiver optics clean.

3.4.2 Connecting Twisted-Pair Cables

The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, which enables you to use

standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches,

routers, or hubs).

The connection requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable with RJ-45

connectors at both ends.

To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure that the current cables are

suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria against the current

installation of your network:

• Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors;

Category 5, 5e or better cable for 1000BASE-T connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX

connections, and Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T connections.

• Protection from radio frequency interference emissions

• Electrical surge suppression

• Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and electromagnetic fields from data based

network wiring

• Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields

NOTE To remove a transceiver, disconnect the network cable then pull the tab to remove the

transceiver from the slot.
