Connectors and cable specifications
Refer to
PowerConnect B-Series TI24X devices. For port pinouts, refer to

Connecting to Ethernet or fast Ethernet hubs
For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or another Dell
PowerConnect device, a crossover cable is required
equipped with an uplink port, it will require a straight-through cable instead of a crossover cable.
NOTE
The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the
connection between two 1000Base-T ports. Therefore, a crossover cable may not be required; a
straight-through cable may work as well. For more information about this feature, refer to the
PowerConnect B-Series TI24X Configuration Guide.
