Table 1-2 lists the MII connector pinout and signals. MII cables are available commercially and are
not available from Cisco Systems. Table 1-2 refers to MII cables used between the MII connector on
the PA-FE-TX and an appropriate transceiver. The connection between this transceiver and your
network can be Category 3, 4, or 5, 150-ohm UTP or FTP, or multimode optical fiber.
