UTP Cable Wiring

10BASE-T unshielded twisted-pair cables can be wired as "Straight-Thru" or, in some cases, "Crossover" depending on the application. For workstations connected to a hub, use "Straight-Thru' wiring illustrated below in Table B-2. In some instances (e.g. cascading from one hub to another), you may use "Crossover" wiring illustrated below in Table B-3.

"Straight-Thru" Cable Wiring

Pin Number		Pin Number
1	(TRX +)	1	(TRX +)
2	(TRX -)	2	(TRX -)
3	(RCV +)	3	(RCV +)
6	(RCV -)	6	(RCV -)
4, 5, 7, 8		Not Used
