C CABLES AND PINOUTS TWISTED-PAIR CABLE ASSIGNMENTS For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable. CAUTION: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific orientation.
APPENDIX C | Cables and Pinouts Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments Table 7: 10/100BASE-TX MDI and MDI-X Port Pinouts PIN MDI Signal Namea MDI-X Signal Name 1 Transmit Data plus (TD+) Receive Data plus (RD+) 2 Transmit Data minus (TD-) Receive Data minus (RD-) 3 Receive Data plus (RD+) Transmit Data plus (TD+) 6 Receive Data minus (RD-) Transmit Data minus (TD-) 4, 5, 7, 8 Not used Not used a. The “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair.
APPENDIX C | Cables and Pinouts Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments CROSSOVER WIRING 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.
APPENDIX C | Cables and Pinouts RJ-11 Port RJ-11 PORT Standard telephone RJ-11 connectors and cabling can be found in several common wiring patterns. These six-pin connectors can accommodate up to three wire pairs (three telephone lines), but usually only one or two pairs of conductor pins and wires are implemented. The RJ-11 port on this device contains only one wire pair on the inner pins (3 and 4).
