10/100Mbps, 10/100Base-TX
When connecting your 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch to another switch, a bridge
or a hub, a straight or crossover cable is necessary. Each port of the Switch
supports auto-MDI/MDI-X detection. That means you can directly connect the
Switch to any Ethernet devices without making a crossover cable. The following
table and diagram show the standard RJ-45 receptacle/ connector and their pin
assignments:
