If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are
labeled with an “X” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a
crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (When auto-negotiation is
enabled for any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either straight-
through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.)
You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to
support Gigabit Ethernet connections.

Installed Category 5 cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End
Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). This cable testing
information is specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-67 standard. Additionally,
cables must also pass test parameters for Return Loss and Equal-Level Far-
End Crosstalk (ELFEXT). These tests are specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-
TSB-95 Bulletin, “The Additional Transmission Performance Guidelines for
100 Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.”
Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch
cables between switches and end devices.
