1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T port
The 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T port is adaptive to three rates, and supports
automatic MDI/MDIX Crossover functions at the three rates.
1000BASE-T complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standard, the connected cable is 100-ohm CAT5
or CAT 5e unshielded twisted pair UTP or shielded twisted pair STP. It is recommended to use
shielded twisted pair STP. The maximum distance supported is 100 meters.
The 1000BASE-T port uses 4 pairs of wires for data transmission, and all 4 pairs of wires
need to be connected. The connection of the twisted pair used by the 1000BASE-T port is
shown in the following figure:

In addition to the above cables, the 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T port can use 100-ohm CAT 3/4/5
cables for 10 Mbps transmission and 100-ohm CAT5 cables for 100 Mbps transmission. All of
them can support a maximum of 100 meters distance. The following are the definitions of the
pinouts of 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T:
