This appendix describes the Catalyst 3560 switch ports and the cables and adapters that you use to connect the switch to other devices and includes these sections:
•"Connector Specifications" section
•"Cable and Adapter Specifications" section
The 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors and Ethernet pinouts with internal crossovers. These ports have the send (TD) and receive (RD) signals internally crossed so that a twisted-pair straight-through cable and adapter can be attached to the port. Figure B-1 shows the pinout for a 10/100 port.
Figure B-1 10/100 Port Pinouts
Figure B-2 shows the pinout for a 10/100/1000 port.
Figure B-2 10/100/1000 Port Pinouts
The Catalyst 3560 switch uses SFP modules for fiber-optic and copper uplinks. See the Catalyst 3560 release notes for a list of supported SFP modules.
Figure B-3 Fiber-Optic SFP Module LC Connector
Figure B-4 Copper SFP Module RJ-45 Connector
The Ethernet port on a dual-purpose port uses standard RJ-45 connectors. Figure B-5 shows the pinouts.
Figure B-5 10/100/1000 Port Pinouts
The SFP module slot on a dual-purpose port uses SFP modules for fiber-optic and copper uplink ports. See the Catalyst 3560 release notes for a list of supported SFP modules.
Note The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference.
The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector, described in Table B-2 and Table B-3. The RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable connects the console port of the switch to a console PC. You need an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter (ACS-DSBUASYN=) to connect the switch console port to a terminal. For console port and adapter pinout information, see Table B-2 and Table B-3.
•SFP Module Cable Specifications
•Two Twisted-Pair Cable Pinouts
•Four Twisted-Pair Cable Pinouts for 1000BASE-T Ports
•Identifying a Crossover Cable
Table B-1 lists the cable specifications for the fiber-optic SFP module connections. Each port must match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and for reliable communications, the cable must not exceed the required cable length. Copper 1000BASE-T SFP transceivers use standard four twisted-pair, Category 5 or greater cable at lengths up to 328 feet (100 meters).

1 Modal bandwidth applies only to multimode fiber. 2 A mode-field diameter/cladding diameter = 9 micrometers/125 micrometers 3 A mode-conditioning patch cord is required. Using an ordinary patch cord with MMF, 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules, and a short link distance can cause transceiver saturation, resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). When using the LX/LH SFP module with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must also install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP module and the MMF cable on both the sending and receiving ends of the link. The mode-conditioning patch cord is required for link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m). 4 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules can send data up to 62 miles (100 km) by using dispersion-shifted SMF or low-attenuation SMF; the distance depends on the fiber quality, the number of splices, and the connectors. |
Figure B-6 and Figure B-7 show the schematics of two twisted-pair cables for connecting to 10BASE-T- and 100BASE-TX-compatible devices.

To identify a crossover cable, compare the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends side-by-side, with the tab at the back. The wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be a different color from the wire connected to the pin on the inside of the right plug. (See Figure B-10.)

Table B-2 lists the pinouts for the console port, the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable, and the console device.
Table B-3 lists the pinouts for the console port, RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter, and the console device.
Note You can order an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter, which is not supplied with the switch (ACS-DSBUASYN=).
