Twisted Pair Port
The 100Base-TX port on the AT-MC105XL and AT-MC106XL media
converters has an RJ-45 connector and is designed to operate with Category 5
or better shielded or unshielded twisted pair cable.
An RJ-45 port on a 100 Mbps Ethernet network device can have one of two
possible wiring configurations: MDI or MDI-X. The RJ-45 port on a PC, router
or bridge is typically wired as MDI, while the twisted pair port on a switch or
hub is usually MDI-X.
To connect two 100 Mbps network devices together that have dissimilar port
wiring configurations, such as MDI to MDI-X, you use a straight-through
cable. To connect two network devices that have an RJ-45 port with the same
wiring configuration, such as MDI to MDI, you use a crossover cable.
