RJ-45 ports
There are 8x 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ports for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX devices
connection. The UTP ports will auto-sense for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX connections.
Auto MDI/MDIX means that the switch can connect to another switch or workstation
without changing straight through or crossover cabling. See the below figures for straight
through and crossover cable schematic.

[NOTE]
“+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair.
All ports on this industrial switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, user can use
straight-through cables (See figure below) for all network connections to PCs or servers,
or to other switches or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of
the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of the
cable. The table below shows the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDI and MDI-X port pin outs.
