Specifications UTP Cable Specifications For 1000BASE-T transmission, the cable must be: • • • Category 5 UTP or better 22-26 AWG, 100 Ω @ 1MHz EIA/TIA 568a or EIA/TIA 568b Using UTP Categor y .
Specifications 10/100 Straight-Thr ough Pinouts When the crossover function is implemented in ternally, the port is labeled MDI-X (Medium Dependent Interface-Crossover). When an MDI-X port is connected to an MDI port, the twisted pair media should be wired straight-thr ough using the phy sical pinouts indicated in Table C-2.
Specifications 10/100 Crossover Pinouts When the crossover function is not implemente d internally at the hub or switch, you must implement the crossover through the twisted-pair media using the physical pinouts indicated in Table C-3.
Specifications Gigabit over Copper Internal Straight-Through Pinouts Unlike connections in which the crossover func tion is implemented internally at the hub or switch, the NC320T PCI Express Gigabit Se rver Adapter provides its own automatic crossover function.
Specifications C-6 HP NC320T PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter User Guide Gigabit over Copper External Crossover Pinouts When a crossover function is not provided by th e adapter, hub or switch, you must implement it through the twisted-pair media using the physical pinouts shown i n Table C-5.
