Cisco MDS 9000 Series Hardware Installation Guide

APPENDIX A
Cable and Port Specifications
This appendix includes information about the cables and connectors used with the Cisco MDS 9148T Multilayer
Fabric Switch.
We strongly recommend that power cable runs and other potential noise sources be located as far away as
practical from network cabling that terminates at Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable
runs exist, but cannot be separated by at least 3.3 ft. (1 m), we recommend that you shield these potential
noise sources. To avoid interference, the source should be shielded by housing it in a grounded metallic
conduit.
