This appendix describes the BayStack 410-24T switch port connectors and pin
assignments.
RJ-45 (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) Port Connectors
The RJ-45 port connectors (Figure 5-1) are wired as MDI-X ports to connect end
stations without using crossover cables. (See
MDI and MDI-X Devices” on
page 5-2
for information about MDI-X ports.)
For 10BASE-T connections, use Category 3 (or higher) UTP cable. When using
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDAs, use only Category 5 UTP cable.
