Switches/cables [7:3673]

2001-05-08 Thread John Chang

I looked at my G4 mac and the Apple System Profiler says 100Mbps/full 
duplex.  The 3548 XL switch says 100Mbps/full duplex.  How could that be 
possible when the patch panel connectors are 10Mbps and the connector on 
the wall is 10Mbps.  The cable is Cat 5.  I thought everything was suppose 
to be 100Mbps for the switch and the computer to register it as 
100Mbps/full??  So, what gives?  Thanks.

It is sort of like the ratings on tires. You should buy something like a Z
rated tire for high speeds on an automobile. You can buy a cheaper tire, but
it probably won't hold up at 150mph. It will work fine for cruising around,
but watch out when you try to push it to the limit.

Those connectors will work but errors and other issues can effectively
reduce your net speed.
