10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments

Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port.
Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable
for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps
connections or 100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps
connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection
does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Because all ports on this switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation,
you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or
servers, or to other switches or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3,
and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2,
3 and 6 at the other end of the cable.
