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 the 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.

Crossover Wiring
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are labeled with an
“X” (indicating MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (which indicates MDI), a
crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for
