Connecting The Network Cables - HP procurve Installation Manual

Connect the appropriate network cables to the module's ports as shown in

the table below. For more information on the cable specifications, see

"Cables" on page 21.

The cabling that you would use for the HP Procurve Gigabit Transceivers that

are installed in the Gigabit Transceiver GL Module depends on the types of

transceivers you are using. Please see the manual that came with those

transceivers and the information in this manual on page 21 for information on

the appropriate cabling.

Notes:

• The RJ-45 ports on this module have the HP Auto-MDIX feature. In the module's default configuration, Auto, either

a straight-through or crossover cable can be used to connect the module to any other 100Base-TX or 10Base-T

device. See the Note on page 11.

• Since the 10Base-T operation is through the 10/100Base-TX ports, if you ever want to upgrade the ports to

100Base-TX, it would be best to cable the ports initially with category 5 cable.
