10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments

Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable
for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps
connections, or 100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps
connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection
does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet)

All RJ-45 ports on this switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation,
so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs
or servers, or to other switches or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1,
2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins
1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of the cable. When using any RJ-45 port on
this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable.

Note: Auto-negotiation must be enabled for automatic MDI/MDI-X

pinout configuration.
