Straight-Through
Use straight-through CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 Ethernet cables to connect the PA2 to your network switch/router. The below
diagrams show the pinout of such cables. These are the most common type of Ethernet cables available.

Crossover
Crossover cables can only be used with network switches/routers which support auto-MDI/MDIX sensing. This feature allows
the switch/router to detect whether a straight-through or crossover cable is connected and re-configure itself accordingly. The
below diagrams show the pinouts of crossover cables.
