Gigabit over copper pinouts using internal crossover for RJ-45 Unlike connections in which the crossover function is implemented internally at the hub or switch, the NC380T provides its own automaticc rossover function. This meansyou can wire twisted-pair media straight-through for adapter-to-hub, adapter-to-switch , or adapter-to-adapter connections using the pinouts indicated. NOTE: To operate at Gigabit speeds, all four pairs of wires must be terminated within the RJ- 45 conn
