1. Using the Switch Cabling Chart provided by your network administrator as a
guide, connect the cables between the switch and other devices as illustrated in

Depending on the cable type you use, the device end of the cable may also have
a 9-pin D-shell or 150 ohm Data Connector.
2. If the switch is rack-mounted, dress the switch end of the cables through a cable
management bracket, if one is present on your rack.

Suggested information to place on the label includes the room location of the
device at the other end, a unique cable identification number, the MAC address
of the connected device, and the number of the port to which the cable is
