Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs
Straight-through Twisted-Pair Cable for
10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s Network Connections
Because of the Auto-MDIX operation of the 10/100 ports on the switch, for all
network connections, to PCs, servers or other end nodes, or to hubs or other switches,
you can use straight-through cables.
If any of these ports are given a fixed configuration, for example 100 Mb/s/Full
Duplex, the ports operate as MDI-X ports, and straight-through cables must be then
used for connections to PC NICs and other MDI ports.
