I have been tasked with setting up a network in my area and need to know if this switch can use one of its "4 combo 10/100/1000BASE-T/SFP" ports with normal cat5e networking cable?
Is a 1000BASE-T cable a normal networking cable i run in my home? Cat5e?
It seems this is what it has to connect an up link to other switches and a router?
I plan to buy around 5 of those switches and connect them all together (in a line? one to the next?) and lead them back to a router that will have the internet, what i hope to achieve is a normal network that users can connect to each other and the router though to the internet.
Will this work or am I a total noob?
Sorry if this is a stupid bunch questions
Thanks
