Cascade
Topology
Figure 4 illustrates the cascade topology where Port 1 on the AT-FS708
switch is connected to Port 8 on the AT-FS716E switch. Since Port 1 is
wired as auto MDI/MDI-X, a crossover or straight-through Category 5 or
better twisted pair cable can be used.

Note
Cascading switches, as shown in Figure 4, can result in data loss
between switches if the data rate exceeds 100 Mbps. Symptoms
may include inability of certain workstations to "Log-On" to a server
or unusually slow data transfer rates between workstations or
servers.
