Ethernet Cable Specifications

For information on the straight-through Ethernet cables you must supply to connect networking devices to the hub, refer to the "Preinstallation" section in Chapter 2 "Hub Specifications and Cables."

If you are connecting a compatible switch or another Cisco 1528 Micro Hub 10/100, in addition to the straight-through Ethernet cable, you can also use a crossover Ethernet cable. Table C-2 and Table C-3 list the crossover Ethernet cable specifications for connecting a compatible switch and another Cisco 1528 Micro Hub 10/100, respectively.


Table C-2: Crossover Ethernet Cable Specifications for Connecting Compatible Switch
Type Category Shielding Maximum Length
10BaseT 3 or 5 Shielded twisted-pair (STP) or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) 328 ft (100 meters)
100BaseTX 5 only STP or UTP 328 ft (100 meters)


Table C-3: Crossover Ethernet Cable Specifications For Connecting Another Cisco 1528 Micro Hub 10/100
Type Category Shielding Maximum Length
100BaseTX 5 only STP or UTP 16.4 ft (5 meters)

For more information on connecting the hub to another Cisco 1528 Micro Hub 10/100, refer to Appendix B, "Cabling Guidelines."

Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect any hub port to any port on the compatible switch or another Cisco 1528 Micro Hub 10/100. When connecting to a compatible switch, set the MDI/MDI-X button on the hub OUT. When connecting to another hub, set the buttons on both hubs OUT.

Cable Wiring

This section contains wiring specifications for the following cables used with the hub:

Table C-4 describes the wiring for the straight-through 10BaseT and 100BaseTX Ethernet cable. Table C-5 describes the wiring for the crossover 10BaseT and 100BaseTX Ethernet cable.


Table  C-4: Straight-Through 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet Cable
RJ-45 (from Network Device) Pin Signal Direction RJ-45 (from Hub) Pin
1 RX+ --> 1
2 RX- --> 2
3 TX+ <-- 3
4 - - 4
5 - - 5
6 TX- <-- 6
7 - - 7
8 - - 8

Table  C-5:
Crossover 10BaseT/100BaseTX Cable
RJ-45 (from Network Device) Pin1 Signal Direction RJ-45 (from Hub) Pin
1 RX+ --> 3
2 RX- --> 6
3 TX+ <-- 1
4 - -
5 - -
6 TX- <-- 2
7 - -
8 - -

1 Incorrectly connected unused wires generate noise on long lengths.

Port Wiring

Table C-6 contains wiring specifications for the eight hub ports.
