Connector Specifications
When connecting the ports to other devices, such as switches or repeaters, you
must use a four twisted-pair, Category 5, crossover cable.
Figure B-7
shows the
crossover cable schematics.
Note
Be sure to use a four twisted-pair, Category 5 cable when connecting to a
1000BASE-T-compatible device.
Note
Use a straight-through cable to connect two ports only when one port is
designated with an X. Use a crossover cable to connect two ports when both ports
are designated with an X or when both ports do not have an
X
.
