10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDAs
The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDAs use four RJ-45 (8-pin
modular) connectors, configured as media dependent interface-
crossover (MDI-X) connectors. These ports connect over straight
cables to the network interface controller (NIC) card in a node or
server, similar to a conventional Ethernet repeater hub.
If you connect to another Ethernet hub or Ethernet switch, you
need a crossover cable unless an MDI connection exists on the
associated port of the attached device.
The following are the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDAs.

installation instructions, see “Installing an MDA” on page 24.
