The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Power specifications include power requirements for the switch modules, maximum power available for the switch, power supply specifications, and power cable specifications.
To determine the number of power supplies required to operate all the modules in a switch, add together the maximum power amounts for each module in the switch, divide the sum by 3000 W, and if there is a fractional amount in the result, add 1 to the result. For n+1 redundancy, add one more power supply. For n+n redundancy, double the number of power supplies and provision for a second power source.
To determine the typical consumption, add together the typical power amounts for each module in the switch.
If you order new power supplies, make sure that the new power supplies use the same type of power (AC or DC) as the rest of the power supplies in the same switch. Do not use a mix of AC and DC power sources for a switch.

Each 3-kW DC power supply requires four customer-supplied power cables (two negative cables and two positive cables). We recommend using 6 gauge cables. Cisco supplies 6-gauge lugs for connections to the power supply. The customer must supply the connectors required to connect the cables to the DC power source.
To determine which transceivers, adapters, and cables are supported by this switch, see https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/interfaces-modules/transceiver-modules/products-device-support-tables-list.html.
To see the transceiver specifications and installation information, see https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/interfaces-modules/transceiver-modules/products-device-support-tables-list.html.
The RJ-45 connector connects Category 3, Category 5, Category 5e, Category 6, or Category 6A foil twisted-pair or unshielded twisted-pair cable from the external network to the following module interface connectors:
Caution | To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding, lightning immunity requirements, you must use a foil twisted-pair (FTP) cable that is properly grounded at both ends. |
