B
Straight-Through Wiring
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has an internal
crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-through. (When
auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on these switches, you can use either
straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.)
You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to support
Gigabit Ethernet connections.
Figure B-2 Straight-through Wiring
Crossover Wiring
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are labeled with an
“X” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a crossover must be
implemented in the wiring. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on
these switches, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect to
any device type.)
