  • Page 110: C Cables And Pinouts

    ABLES AND WISTED ABLE SSIGNMENTS For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.

  • Page 111: 10/100Base-Tx Pin Assignments

    10/100BASE-TX P SSIGNMENTS 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. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). The RJ-45 port on the Wireless Router supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or hubs.

  • Page 112: Crossover Wiring

    Figure 64: Straight-through Wiring End A ROSSOVER IRING If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are labeled with an ―X‖ (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an ―X‖ (MDI), a crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either straight- through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.) You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to...
