APPENDIX B: CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS
This appendix provides information about the RJ-45 plug and the RJ-45 connector used for the NETGEAR Model GS524T Copper Gigabit Switch.
RJ-45 Plug and RJ-45 Connector
It is important that all 1000 BASE-T certified Category 5 or Category 5e cabling use RJ-45 plugs. The RJ-45 plug accepts 4-pair UTP or shielded twisted
pair (STP) 100 ohm cable and connects into the RJ-45 connector.
The RJ-45 connector is used to connect stations, hubs, and switches through UTP cable; it supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps data transmission.
The RJ-45 plug and RJ-45 connector are both illustrated in Figure B-1.
