TWISTED-PAIR CABLE AND PIN ASSIGNMENTS
Straight-Through Wiring
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-through. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on the switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.)
You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to support Gigabit Ethernet connections.
