10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments
Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45
connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections. Also be sure
that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
The RJ-45 port on the access point supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can
use straight-through or crossover cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or
hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected
straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable.
