Overview Auto MDI/MDI-X An RJ-45 twisted pair port on a 10 Mbps or 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 bridging converter or hub is usually MDI-X. To connect two 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps network devices together that have dissimilar port wiring configurations, such as MDI to MDI-X, you would usually use a straight-through twisted pai
