Gigabit over Copper Internal Straight-Through Pinouts Unlike connections in which the crossover function is implemented internally at the hub or switch, the NC320T PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter provides its own automatic crossover function. This means you can wire twisted-pair media straight-through for adapter- to-hub, adapter-to-switch, or adapter-to-adapter connections using the pinouts shown in Table C-4.
