Connecting to the Optional 1000BASE-T and

10/100BASE-TX Modules

Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45

connectors at both ends. For 1000BASE-T connections, Category 5, 5e or

better cable is required; for 100BASE-TX connections, Category 5 cable is

required; for 10BASE-TX, Category 3,4, or 5 cable can be used.

The RJ-45 ports on the SMC7724T and SMC7712GT modules support

automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use standard

straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network

device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).

Note: Auto-negotiation must be enabled for automatic MDI/MDI-X

pinout configuration.

See Appendix B for further information on cabling.
