Power Cord and Cable Requirements
The following table lists the required cables and power cords. All cables
except the AC power cords and the console cable are customer-supplied.
Table 3.2 Required Cables and Power Cords
Qty. Cable/Cord Used on... Specification
4 AC power cords AC/DC power supplies You can choose from the following types
of cables shipped with the switch:
• 20 A/250 Vac or
• 15 A/120 Vac.
Both types have IEC-320 type connectors.
1 Console cable (flat,
crossover) with
RJ-45-to-DB9 adapter Console port 100BASE-T Category 5 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP); 24 AWG
1 PCI-E interconnect cable CP and DP
1 Ethernet cable for
connection to 10/100/1000
Mbps Ethernet
management port (RJ-45
connector); Management interface
12 Ethernet cables for
connection to 100/1000
Mbps Ethernet
(RJ-45 connectors)
12 copper gigabit Ethernet ports
a
100/1000BASE-T Category 5/6,
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable; 24
AWG.
a.Gigabit Ethernet ports support automatic MDI/MDIX cross-over. This feature automatically corrects the polarity of the
attached CAT5 cable, regardless of whether it is a cross-over or straight-through type. However, for this feature to work,
the port
speed
must be set to
auto
(auto-negotiate) through the CLI. When the port speed/duplex is forced (auto-negotiate
is disabled), automatic MDI/MDIX cross-over is disabled, and you must cable the port using standard cross-over or
straight-through cabling.
