Data Cabling Connections

UTP Hub-to-MAU
Wiring
All three repeaters have 10Base-T UTP ports with industry-standard RJ-45
connectors. The standard network connection is from a Data Communications
Equipment (DCE) device, such as the repeater, to a Data Terminal Equipment
(DTE) device, such as a workstation Network Interface Controller (NIC). This
configuration uses a straight-through cable, as shown in Figure 13.

Figure 14 shows a UTP cable with an RJ-45 connector. For a 10Base-T link
between a hub and a Media Access Unit (MAU) or NIC, the cable is wired
straight-through. That is, an RJ-45 connector at the hub would wire pin-to-pin
to the RJ-45 connector at the MAU.
