Table 2 contains the cabling specifications for the twisted pair ports.
Table 2. Twisted Pair Cabling and Distances

100 Mbps
Category 5 or Category 5E
(Enhanced) 100-ohm shielded or
unshielded twisted pair cable
Note
The twisted pair ports on the switch feature Auto-MDI when
operating at either 10 or 100 Mbps. Each port 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 network device to a twisted pair port on the
switch. A port operating at 10 or 100 Mbps uses four of the eight
strands in twisted pair wiring.
