PORT AND CABLE ASSIGNMENTS
Straight-Through Cable
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has an internal crossover (MDI-X), the cable used must be straight-through.

Crossover Cable
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are labeled with an “X” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a crossover must be implemented in the wiring.
