Network Cables
Straight-Through Twisted-Pair Cable for
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Network Connections
Because the 10/100 port on the access point supports Auto-MDIX operation,
you can use either “straight-through” or “crossover” cable for network connec-
tions to PCs, servers, hubs, or switches.

Note Pins 1 and 2 on connector “A” must be wired as a twisted pair to pins 1 and 2
on connector “B”.
