If a twisted pair cable is used to join two ports and either both ports are
labelled with an “X” or neither port is labelled with an “X”, a crossover must be
included in the wiring. Table 6 lists the RJ-45 crossover wiring pin assignments.
For 1000BASE-T RJ-45 cables, all four pairs are used and the cable is wired in a
straight-through configuration. Table 7 lists the pin assignments.
