CHAPTER 1 Intel Express 460T Standalone Switch Users Guide
Straight-through vs. Crossover Cables
Switch ports are wired for MDI-X. Use a straight-through cable to connect
to a workstation or server (network adapter cards are wired MDI). To
connect to another MDI-X port, use a crossover cable. Following are the pin
arrangements for the switch’s Ethernet port and the typical RJ-45 connector.
