3 Installation of the Switch
interface.
Normally, 10BASE-T networks require a straight-through Cat. 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cabling system.
The cabling system could be found in most existing Ethernet network installations.
100/100BASE-TX networks require Cat. 5 UTP/STP cabling system. The pin assignments for a
straight-through cable are shown in Figure 3-5 and 3-6.

Note:
While connectingLive-FSH8SB to other hub/switch, you don’t have to use a crossover cable for
connection, since Live-FSH8SB performs auto-crossing over by its Auto-MDI, Auto-MDI-X
function. Simply use the straight-through cable for all types of 100BASE-TX connections, either
to a PC or to a networking device such as other hub or switch.
The table below describes when to use straight-through or crossover cable:
