Switch Ports and Network Cables
Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs
Straight-Through Twisted-Pair Cable for
10/100 Mbps Network Connections
The RJ 45 port on the management module operates as an MDI-X port, and
straight-through cables must be used for connections to the management
console. The same connections and pin-outs shown here for the management
module can also be used on the 10-Port 100/1000 Base-T interface module for
100 Mbps network connections only.
