Overview
Cabling requirement for your Cisco C9610 switch.
When running power and data cables together in overhead cable trays or subfloor cable trays,
We strongly recommend that power cabling runs and other potential noise sources be located as far away as practical from LAN cabling that terminates on the Cisco equipment. In situations where this type of long parallel cable runs exist and cannot be separated by at least 3.3 feet (1 meter), we recommend that you shield these potential noise sources by housing it in a grounded metallic conduit to avoid interference.
When using Category 5e and Category 6 Ethernet cables, be aware that
Category 5e, Category 6, and Category 6a cables can store large levels of static electricity because of the dielectric properties of the materials used in their construction. Always ground the cables (especially in new cable runs) to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the module.
