    1 Introducing the 3810M switches The Aruba 3810M are multiport switches that can be used to build high-performance switched networks. These switches are store-and-forward devices offering low latency for high-speed networking. The 3810M switches also support a field-replaceable Redundant Power Supply and fan tray, Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) technologies, full network management capabilities and a flexible uplink port slot.

    NOTE: Most of the time, if you are using good quality graded-index multimode fiber cable that adheres to the standards listed in Cabling Specifications, there should not be a need to use mode conditioning patch cords in your network. This is especially true if the fiber runs in your network are relatively short.

    If you happen to use a correctly wired crossover cable, though, the switch will still be able to automatically detect the MDI/MDI-X operation and link correctly to the connected device. Other Wiring Rules: All twisted-pair wires used for 10 Mbps, and 100 Mbps operation must be twisted through the entire length of the cable.
  • Page 91: Pin Assignments

    NOTE: Pins 1 and 2 on connector “A” must be wired as a twisted pair to pins 1 and 2 on connector “B”. Pins 3 and 6 on connector “A” must be wired as a twisted pair to pins 3 and 6 on connector “B”. Pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are not used in this application, although they may be wired in the cable.
