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 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports on the switches use RJ-45 connectors. Figure 36 shows the pinouts.

Warning: Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
The switch has two console ports: a USB 5-pin mini-Type B port (see Figure 38) and an RJ-45 (RS-232) console port.
Figure 38 USB Mini-Type B Port
The USB console port uses a USB Type A to 5-pin mini-Type B cable, shown in Figure 39. The USB Type A-to-USB mini-Type B cable is not supplied. You can order an accessory kit that contains this cable.
Note: When running Linux, access the USB Console using Minicom instead of Screen.

The RJ-45 console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. An RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable is used to connect the console port of the switch to a console PC. You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you want to connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter. For console port and adapter pinout information, see Console Port.
The alarm port uses an RJ-45 connector. See 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.
For more information about SFP/SFP+ modules and cables, see Transceiver Modules.
The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. 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=).
Table 11 lists the pinouts for the console port, the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable, and the console device.
