Normal 10Base-T / 100Base-TX UTP Ports

They can automatically detect the transmission speed (that is, 10Mbps or 100Mbps) and adjust accordingly. Each auto MDIX port is an 8-pin RJ-45 connector (see figure below), and allow connection to a compatible hub, hub stack or switch using straight through cable.
