CROSSOVER WIRING If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are
labeled with an “X” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a
crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (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.

ASSIGNMENTS
All 1000BASE-T ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can
use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers,
switches or hubs.
The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port pinouts. These
ports require that all four pairs of wires be connected. Note that for
1000BASE-T operation, all four pairs of wires are used for both transmit
and receive.
Use 100-ohm Category 5, 5e or 6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded
twisted-pair (STP) cable for 1000BASE-T connections. Also be sure that the
length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters
(328 feet).
