Note: The “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make
up each wire pair.
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 this switch, you can use either
straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.)
Crossover Wiring
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and both ports are labeled with an “X”
(MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a crossover must be
implemented in the wiring. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port
on this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect
to any device type.)
