Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP
When connecting to a 1000BASE-T device, be sure to use a four twisted-pair, Category 5 or higher cable.
The automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is enabled by default. For
configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch
command reference on Cisco.com.
Note
To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.
Caution
Procedure
Step 1

you connect to servers, workstations, and routers. Insert a four twisted-pair, crossover cable when you connect
to switches or repeaters.
Step 2
Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device.
