Cable Pinouts

This appendix describes pinout information for 10/100/1000BaseT ports, console and the RJ-45 to DB-9 ports, and the Management 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, and includes the following sections:

•10/100/1000BaseT Connectors, page 1-1

•Console Port (RJ-45), page 1-2

•RJ-45 to DB-9, page 1-4

•MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port, page 1-4

•Gigabit and Fibre Channel Ports, page 1-5

10/100/1000BaseT Connectors

The adaptive security appliance supports 10/100/1000BaseT ports. You must use at least a Category 5 cable for 100/1000baseT operations, but a Category 3 cable can be used for 10BaseT operations.

The 10/100/1000BaseT ports use standard RJ-45 connectors and supports MDI and MDI-X connectors. Ethernet ports normally use MDI connectors and Ethernet ports on a hub normally use an MDI-X connector.

Use an Ethernet straight-through cable to connect an MDI to an MDI-X port. Use a cross-over cable to connect an MDI to an MDI port, or an MDI-X to an MDI-X port.

Figure 1-1shows the 10BaseT and the 100BaseTX connector (RJ-45).
