Chapter 85 APPENDEX A
85.1 A.1 Switch's RJ-45 Pin Assignments
1000Mbps, 1000Base T
Implicit implementation of the crossover function within a twisted-pair cable, or at a wiring panel, while not
expressly forbidden, is beyond the scope of this standard.
85.2 A.2 10/100Mbps, 10/100Base-TX
When connecting your 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch to another switch, a bridge or a hub, a straight or
crossover cable is necessary. Each port of the Switch supports auto-MDI/MDI-X detection. That means you
can directly connect the Switch to any Ethernet devices without making a crossover cable. The following table
and diagram show the standard RJ-45 receptacle/ connector and their pin assignments:
