STRAIGHT-THROUGH
WIRING
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has
an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-
through. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this
switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect
to any device type.)
You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to
support Gigabit Ethernet connections.
