Connect the twisted-pair copper cable

The AutoCross feature allows either MDI (straight-through)or MDI-X (crossover) cable connections to be configured automatically, according to network conditions.

1.Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 10/100/1000Base-T cables with RJ- 45 connectors installed at both ends.

2.Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the M/GE-PSW-xX-01 media converter.

3.Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the other device (switch, workstation, etc.).
