This appendix describes the BayStack 410-24Tswitch port connectors and pin assignments.

RJ-45 (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) Port Connectors

The RJ-45 port connectors (Figure D-1) are wired as MDI-X ports to connect end stations without using crossover cables. (See “MDI and MDI-X Devices” on page D-2 for information about MDI-X ports.)

For 10BASE-T connections, use Category 3 (or higher) UTP cable. When using 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDAs, use only Category 5 UTP cable.
