3.5.1 Connecting the Network Port Cabling (MRX/MRXI)
The MRX and MRXI Network Port cabling uses a 50-pin Champ
connector to attach up to twelve unshielded twisted pair segments to
the HUB. The Network feeder cable typically connects to a punch-
down block using a 50-pin Champ connector, but in some cases the
connection could require wiring the block for the individual twisted
pairs. The Appendix provides a guide to wiring the punch-down
block when a 50-pin Champ connector is not being used.

3.5.2 Connecting the Network Port Cabling (MRX-2/MRXI-2)
The MRX-2 and MRXI-2 Network Port consists of 12- RJ-45
connectors, used to attach up to twelve unshielded twisted pair
segments to the HUB. The X associated with each port number
indicates that the port is internally crossed over.

NOTE: The X indicating crossover is omitted on some units.
However, the RJ-45 Network ports are internally crossed over.
