4.2 Ethernet Connector
The KTHM65 support one channel of 10/100/1000Mb Ethernet (ETH1) based on Intel® Lewisville
82579LM Gigabit PHY.
In order to achieve the specified performance of the Ethernet port, Category 5 twisted pair cables must
be used with 10/100MB and Category 5E, 6 or 6E with 1Gb LAN networks.
The signals for the Ethernet ports are as follows:
Signal Description
MDI[0]+ / MDI[0]- In MDI mode, this is the first pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DA+/- pair, and is
the transmit pair in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DB+/- pair, and is the receive
pair in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
MDI[1]+ / MDI[1]- In MDI mode, this is the second pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DB+/- pair, and
is the receive pair in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DA+/- pair, and is the transmit
pair in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
MDI[2]+ / MDI[2]- In MDI mode, this is the third pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DC+/- pair.
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DD+/- pair.
MDI[3]+ / MDI[3]- In MDI mode, this is the fourth pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DD+/- pair.
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DC+/- pair.
Note: MDI = Media Dependent Interface.
Ethernet connector 1 (ETH1) is mounted together with USB Ports 4 and 5.
The pinout of the RJ45 connectors is as follows:
