The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port
pinouts. These ports require that all four pairs of wires be
connected. Note that for 1000BASE-T operation, all four pairs of
wires are used for both transmit and receive.
1000BASE-T Cable Requirements
All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX
connections should also work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all
four wire pairs are connected. However, it is recommended that
for all critical connections, or any new cable installations, Category
5e (enhanced Category 5) cable should be used. The Category 5e
specification includes test parameters that are only
recommendations for Category 5. Therefore, the first step in
preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running 1000BASE-T is a
simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it complies with
the IEEE 802.3ab standards.
Cable Testing for Existing Category 5 Cable
Installed Category 5 cabling must pass tests for Attenuation,
Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). This
