Straight-Through Twisted-Pair Cable for
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Network Connections
Because of the Auto MDI/MDI-X operation of the ports on the switch, for all
network connections, to PCs, servers or other end nodes, or to hubs or other
switches, you can use "straight-through" cables.
For this feature to operate correctly, the port on the connected device must
also be configured as Auto, not in any fixed configuration such as 100 Mbps/
full duplex.
