Cable Specifications
Table 7 contains the cable specifications for the twisted-pair ports.
Note
The twisted pair ports on the switch feature auto-MDI when
operating at 10 or 100 Mbps. A port is configured as MDI or MDI-X
when it is connected to an end node. Consequently, you can use a
straight-through twisted pair cable when connecting any type of
network device to a port on the switch.
