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.

The 10/100 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.
When connecting 10/100 ports to devices such as servers, workstations, and routers, you can use a two or four twisted-pair straight-through cable wired for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. Figure 59 shows the two twisted-pair straight-through cable schematics. Figure 61 shows the four twisted-pair straight-through cable schematics.
When connecting the ports to other devices, such as switches or repeaters, you can use a two or four twisted-pair crossover cable. Figure 60 shows the two twisted-pair crossover cable schematics. Figure 62 shows the four twisted-pair crossover cable schematics.
If auto-MDIX is disabled, use a straight-through cable to connect ports when only one port is labeled with an X. Use a crossover cable to connect ports when both ports are labeled with an X or when both ports are not labeled with an X.
You can use Category 3, 4, or 5 cabling when connecting to 10BASE-T-compatible devices. You must use Category 5 (or higher) cabling when connecting to 100BASE-TX-compatible devices.
Note: You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100, 10/100/1000, or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection.

The 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports on the dual-purpose ports use RJ-45 connectors.

The alarm port uses an RJ-45 connector. See the Alarm Ports for more information. For information on alarm ratings, see the Alarm Ratings.
Each port must match the wave-length specifications on each end of the cable, and for reliable communications, the cable must not exceed the allowable length. Copper 1000BASE-T SFP transceivers use standard four twisted-pair, CAT5 (or greater) cable at lengths up to 328 feet (100 meters).
■The maximum operating temperature of the switch varies depending on SFP module type. See Table 2 for information on the supported temperature ranges.
■Modal bandwidth applies only to multimode fiber (MMF).
■A mode-field diameter/cladding diameter = 9 micrometers/125 micrometers.
■1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules connected with MMF over a short link distance require a mode-conditioning patch cord.
Ordinary patch cords can cause transceiver saturation, resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). Using the 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP module with 62.5-micron diameter multimode fiber (MMF) requires a mode-conditioning patch cord between the single mode fiber (SMF) SFP module and the MMF cable on both the send and receive link ends.
■Link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m) require a mode-conditioning patch cord.
■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 fiber quality, the number of splices, and the connectors.
■When the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.43 miles (25 km), insert a 5-decibel (dB) or 10-dB inline optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX SFP module.

To identify a crossover cable, hold the cable ends side-by-side, with the tab at the back. The wire connected to pin 1 on the left end should be the same color as the wire connected to pin 3 on the right end. The wire connected to pin 2 on the left end should be the same color as the wire connected to pin 6 on the right end.

The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector, which is described in Table 21 and Table 22. If you did not order a console cable, you need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable to connect the switch console port to a PC console port. You need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you want to connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order an adapter (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=). For console port and adapter pinout information, see Table 21 and Table 22.
Table 21 lists the pinouts for the console port, the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable, and the console device.

Note: The RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter is not supplied with the switch. You can order this adapter from Cisco (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=).
