Appendix A—RJ-45 Pin Assignment
RJ-45 Pin Assignments
The UTP/STP ports will automatically sense for Fast Ethernet (10Base-T/100Base-TX
connections), or Gigabit Ethernet (10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T connections).
Auto MDI/MDIX means that the switch can connect to another switch or workstation
without changing straight through or crossover cabling. See the figures below for straight
through and crossover cable schematic.
10 /100BASE-TX Pin outs
With10/100BASE-TX cable, pins 1 and 2 are used for transmitting data, and pins 3 and 6
for receiving data.
