RJ-45 Pin Assignments
The UTP/STP ports will automatically sense for Fast Ethernet (10Base-T/100Base-TX) or
Gigabit Ethernet (10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T) connection. Auto MDI/MDIX means
that the switch can connect to another switch or workstation without changing straight
through or crossover cabling. See the illustrations below for straight through and crossover
cable schema.
