3.1.10.1 Straight Cable
A straight cable connects an MDI device to an MDI-X device, or an MDI-X device to an MDI device. Figure 3-1 depicts
a typical straight cable connection between a NIC card (MDI) and a switch, or hub (MDI-X).

3.1.10.2 Crossover Cable
A crossover cable connects an MDI device to another MDI device, or an MDI-X device to another MDI-X device.
Figure 3-2 shows a typical crossover cable connection between two switches or hubs (two MDI-X devices).

3.1.11 AUTO-NEGOTIATION
The KSZ8895MQX/RQX/FQX/MLX conforms to the auto-negotiation protocol as described by the 802.3 committee.
Auto-negotiation allows unshielded twisted pair (UTP) link partners to select the highest common mode of operation.
Link partners advertise their capabilities to each other, and then compare their own capabilities with those they received
from their link partners. The highest speed and duplex setting that is common to the two link partners is selected as the
mode of operation. Auto-negotiation is supported for the copper ports only.
The following list shows the speed and duplex operation mode from highest to lowest priority.
• Priority 1: 100BASE-TX, full-duplex
