Looking at these more... FPE H20202DL-R Is a dual 10/100 magnetics... So 4 pairs. This would work for a single gigabit port
FPE H40520MN Is a quad 10/100 magnetics, so 8 pairs - this would work for two gigabit ports I've also looked at the specs for these... seem like they're close enough to gigabit to work. So as much as I would like to complain about cutting corners, this is one of those cases where I don't see any obvious problems with this.
