Cabling
Table 6 contains the cabling specifications for the twisted pair ports.
Note
The twisted pair ports on the switch feature auto-MDI when
operating at 10 or 100 Mbps. Each port is individually configured as
MDI or MDI-X when connected to an end node. Consequently, you
can use either a straight-through or crossover twisted pair cable
when connecting any network device to a twisted pair port on the
switch.
