10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ports As Figure 2-1 shows, the GSM712/GSM712F Managed Gigabit Switch has 10 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports. These ports are auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps ports: When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10 or 100 or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex) of the attached device. The 10/100/1000 Mbps ports support only unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug. To simplify
