Connecting the Switch Ports
Connecting the Switch Ports
10/100/1000 Ports
When you connect to servers, workstations, IP phones, wireless access points, and routers, use a
straight-through, twisted four-pair, Category 5 cable in a 10/100/1000 port. Use a crossover, twisted
four-pair, Category 5 cable when you connect to other switches, hubs, or repeaters. Connect the other
cable end to an RJ-45 port on the other device.
Depending upon the installed power supply, the 10/100/1000 ports support Power over Ethernet (PoE)
and PoE+.
PoE inline power supports devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af, as well as prestandard Cisco IP Phones
and Cisco Aironet Access Points. Each port can deliver up to 15.4 W of power.
PoE+ inline power supports devices compliant with IEEE 802.3at, delivering up to 30 W to all switch
ports.
See the hardware installation guide on Cisco.com.
Note The automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is enabled by default. The
switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces. You
can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100/1000 module
port on the switch, regardless of the type of connected device.
Step 1
Loosen the captive screws, and remove the blank
network module cover.
Step 2
Slide the network module into the opening until the
back of the module faceplate is flush with the switch
faceplate. Tighten the captive screws.
