UTP Port Pin Assignments

The UTP ports use RJ-45 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling. Connector pin numbers and pin wiring assignments are listed below in Figure A-1. Twisted-Pair cables can be wired with either straight-through or crossover pin assignments. Both wiring schemes are mentioned in "Appendix B Cabling Guidelines" for reference in creating a twisted-pair cable.
