RJ-45 Ports
RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): The RJ-45 ports are auto-sensing for 10Base-T or 100Base-
TX connections. Auto MDI/MDIX means that the switch can connect to another switch or
workstation without changing the straight-through or crossover cabling. See the figures below
for straight-through and crossover cabling schematics.

Note:
The “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair.
All ports on this industrial Ethernet switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operations. Users can
use straight-through cables (see figure below) for all network connections to PCs, servers, and
other switches or hubs. With straight-through cabling, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 are at one end of the
cable and are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of the cable.
The table below (Table 2.3) shows the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDI and MDI-X port pin outs.
