Connectivity Guidelines
To attach the segment cables to your SSR-HTX22-08-AA or SSR-HTX12-08-AA line card:
1. For all the 10/100-Mbps ports, obtain copper cables that have the following pin assignments.
The RJ-45 connectors on the SSR-HTX22-08-AA and SSR-HTX12-08-AA line cards are
configured as Media Data Interface Crossed (MDIX). You can use Category 3 ("Cat-3") or
higher wire for 10-Mbps segments. For 100-Mbps segments, use Cat-5 or higher wire. The
ports automatically sense which type of segment they are connected to and configure
themselves to transmit and receive at the appropriate bandwidth.
The following table lists the pin assignments for the RJ-45 connector on the SSR-HTX22-08-
AA and SSR-HTX12-08-AA, and for the RJ-45 connector on the switch, router, or host on the
other end of the segment cable.
