10/100 Crossover Pinouts
When the crossover function is not provided within the hub or switch, you must implement the
crossover through the twisted-pair media using the physical pinouts indicated in Table C-10.

Figure C-2 shows the correct 10/100 wiring to use when the crossover function is implemented
externally (in the twisted-pair cabling).

Gigabit over Copper Internal Straight-Through Pinouts
Unlike some connections in which the crossover function is implemented internally at the hub
or switch, the NC7132 upgrade module provides its own automatic cross-over function. This
means you can wire twisted-pair media straight-through for adapter-to-hub or switch or adapter-
to-adapter connections, using the pinouts shown in Table C-11.
NOTE: To operate at Gigabit speeds, all four pairs of wires must be terminated within the RJ-45
connector.
