Cable Specifications
Table 5 contains the cable specifications for the twisted pair ports.
Note
The twisted pair ports on the switch feature auto-MDI when
operating at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps. Each of the ports is individually
configured as MDI or MDI-X when connected to an end node.
Consequently, you can use a straight-through twisted pair cable
when connecting any type of network device to a port on the switch.
