Appendix A Rj-45 Pin Specification - Planet FSD-504PE User Manual

When connecting your FSD-series 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch to another switch, a bridge or a
hub, a straight or crossover cable is necessary. Each port of the Switch supports auto-MDI/MDI-X
detection. That means you can directly connect the Switch to any Ethernet devices without making
a crossover cable.
The following table and diagram show the standard RJ-45 receptacle/ connector and their pin
assignments:
Note: Contact 4, 5, 7, 8 is not used for port # 2 to port #8. And will be used in port#1 (POE port) for
IEEE802.3af power transmission.
