1000BASE-T Cable Requirements
All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also
work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is
recommended that for all critical connections, or any new cable installations,
Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) or Category 6 cable should be used. The
Category 5e and 6 specifications include test parameters that are only
recommendations for Category 5. Therefore, the first step in preparing existing
Category 5 cabling for running 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation
to be sure that it complies with the IEEE 802.3-2008 standards.
Fiber Cabling Guidelines
The switch includes 20 slots for 40G QSFP+ fiber-optic transceivers.
Note that all 40GBASE fiber optic ports can operate in a single-lane mode at
40 Gbps full duplex, or in a four-lane mode at 10 Gbps full duplex.
Note: The length of fiber optic cable for a single switched link should not exceed
the relevant standards specified in this section. However, power budget constraints
should also be considered when calculating the maximum fiber optic cable length
for a particular link.
Note: Maximum distances may vary for different QSFP+ vendors.
