1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T port
The 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T port is a 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing port that supports auto
MDI/MDIX Crossover.
Compliant with IEEE 802.3ab, the 1000BASE-T port requires 100-ohm Category 5/5e UTP or STP with a
maximum distance of 100 meters (328.08 ft.).
The 1000BASE-T port requires all four pairs of wires be connected for data transmission. The following table
shows the four pairs of wires for the 1000BASE-T port.

10BASE-T uses 100-ohm Category-3/4/5 UTP or STP, and 100BASE-TX uses 100-ohm Category-5 UTP or STP
for connections. Both support a maximum length of 100 meters (328.08 ft.). The following table shows 100BASE-
TX/10BASE-T pin assignments.
