Chapter 1 Product Overview
Front Panel
10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pin-outs. The maximum cable
length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5, Category
5e, or Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or
Category 4 UTP cable.
The auto-negotiation feature is enabled by default. The switch ports configure themselves to operate at the
speed of attached devices. If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation, you can explicitly set the
switch port speed and the duplex parameters. To maximize performance, either let the ports auto-negotiate
both speed and duplex, or set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
For simplified cabling, the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is
enabled by default. The switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and
configures the interface accordingly. You can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for
connections to a switch 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the
connection.
SFP Modules
The SFPs listed in Table 1-2 are supported in Cisco ME1200 NID. Please contact Cisco for details on
