Planning the Installation

Table 7 contains the cabling specifications for the twisted pair ports.

Note
The twisted pair ports on the switch feature auto-MDI/MDI-X. They
are configured automatically by the switch as MDI or MDI-X when
connected to an end-node. Consequently, you can use either a
straight-through or crossover twisted pair cable when connecting
any network device to a port on the switch.
