⚫ 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T
The 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T is a 10/100/1000 Mbps adaptive port that supports auto MDI/MDIX
Crossover.
Compliant with IEEE 802.3ab, 1000BASE-T requires Category 5e 100-ohm UTP or STP (STP is recommended)
with a maximum distance of 100 meters (328 feet). 1000BASE-T requires all four pairs of wires be connected
for data transmission, as shown in Figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1 1000BASE-T Connection
10BASE-T uses Category 3.4, 5, 5 100-ohm UTP/STP and 1000BASE-T uses Category 5 100-ohm UTP/STP
for connections. Both support a maximum length of 100 meters. shows 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T pin
assignments.
