Cisco catalyst switch cable, connector, and ac power cord guide

Cisco Catalyst Switch Cable, Connector, and AC Power Cord Guide
This document is a guide to cables and connectors for Catalyst 6500/6000,
5500/5000, and 4500/4000 series switching modules and Catalyst 2900/3500 XL,
2940, 2970, 2950/2955, 3550, and 3750 series fixed-configuration switches. AC
power supplies, connectors, and cords for these switches are also covered.

Prerequisites
Requirements
You should identify the part or model number of your switch/supervisor, switching
module, or power supply in order to use this document effectively. Do this by visual
inspection, or issue the show module command where possible.
NOTE: This document is not restricted to specific software and hardware versions.

Conventions
Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document
conventions.

Console and Aux Port Cables
Different Catalyst Supervisor Engines use either a rolled or a straight-through cable in
order to connect a terminal or modem to the console port. Refer to these documents
for information on how to connect a terminal or modem to the console port of
Catalyst series switches:
Connecting a Terminal to the Console Port on Catalyst Switches
Connecting a Modem to the Console Port on Catalyst Switches

Auxiliary (AUX) ports on Layer 3 (L3) switches or modules behave much the same
way as AUX ports on routers and are used to connect modems. Refer
to Modem-Router Connection Guide for information on how to connect a modem to
an AUX port.

Which RJ-45 Ethernet Cable Do I Use?
A common question that concerns RJ-45 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet
cable concerns how to distinguish between rolled, straight-through, and crossover
cables, and when to use them. Use the comparison guide found in theTypes of RJ-45
Cabling section of Cabling Guide for Console and AUX Ports in order to see the
difference between these cables.

Cables to Hubs, Switches, Routers, and Workstations
Crossover and straight-through cables are used in order to connect switch ports or
interfaces to network devices. Consult this table in order to see when to use each of
these cable types. Find the device in the left-hand column and match it up with
another device in the top row. The intersection of these two devices gives you the
cable type used to connect them together.

Note: The ports on Catalyst switches that run Cisco IOS Software (Native) can be
configured to act as Layer 2 (L2) or Layer 3 (L3) ports. When you connect the RJ-45
cable from a Layer 3 port, which acts as a router port, to other devices, use the
previous table? In summary, the cables used do not change, regardless of whether
the port is configured to be in Layer 2 (switch port) or Layer 3 (router port) mode.

Most Common Cable Connectors
These diagrams show some of the most common cable types and connectors used on
Catalyst switches.
RJ-45 RJ-21 Telco

MT-RJ Fiber-Optic SC Fiber-Optic


This is used in order to connect to 100Base-FX, 1000Base-SX, Long
100Base-FX fiber-optic ports. Use Wavelength/Long Haul (LX/LH) and ZX
multimode fiber (MMF) cables with MT-RJ fiber-optic ports or GBICs. Use MMF or
connectors. single-mode fiber (SMF) fiber-optic
cable.

LC Fiber-Optic GigaStack

This is used in order to connect to SFP GigaStack GBIC ports. Cisco GigaStack
fiber-optic module ports. technology uses proprietary GBICs and
cables.

This is used in order to connect to StackWise ports on the rear panel of Catalyst 3750
switches. Cisco StackWise technology uses proprietary connectors and cables.

GBIC and SFP Connectors
Many Catalyst switches, Supervisor Engines and switching modules have removable
Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) or small form factor pluggable (SFP)-type
connectors. These diagrams show some of the most common GBIC and SFP
connectors used on Catalyst switches.
Note: A Catalyst 2950 switch is used for demonstration purposes.

2950, 2940, and 2900/3500XL series switches. Refer to the Power Installation
Guidelines in the tables that correspond in the next section for international power
requirements, DC power requirements, and other technical specifications.

Different Modules require different amount of power. Inline Power modules supplies
the power to the IP phones. Cisco has inline power module to power the IP phones.
You have to choose the correct power supply in order to support the various line
cards, modules and Supervisor Engines on the switch. Cisco offers a tool called
the Cisco Power calculatorwhich can be used in order to choose the correct power
supply for your switch. Launch the Cisco Power calculatorand fill out the Product
family, Supervisor Engine, Input voltage, line cards and the number of PoE devices. IP
phones are the example for PoE devices and most of the IP phones belong to IEEE
802.3af Device - Class 2 (7W). Then the power calculator shows the results of
different choices of Power Supplies. From that you can choose the required power
supply. The power supplies successfully operate at their greatest capacity if the input
voltage is between 200 and 240 volts AC.

Catalyst 6500/6000 Series Switch Power Supplies and Cables
This table is a quick reference for the available power supplies and cables in North
American standard. Refer toCatalyst 6500 Power supply specifications for the

detailed specifications you can. These few points are important to know:
The 950W (PWR-950-AC), 950W DC (PWR-950-DC) and 1400W AC
(PWR-1400-AC) are used only with the Catalyst 6503 and Catalyst 6503-E
Switches.
The Power supplies 1000W and 1300W can be used only with Catalyst 6506,
6509, and 6509-NEB-A switches. The Supervisor Engines SUP32 and SUP720
are incompatible when 1000W and 1300W power supplies are used.
With a fully populated Catalyst 6513 switch, two 2500 W power supplies are
not fully redundant.
If you operate the 2500 W power supply at the low range input (100 to 120
VAC), it is not redundant in a fully populated Catalyst 6509, Catalyst 6509-E,
Catalyst 6509-NEB, or Catalyst 6509-NEB-A switch.
The Power supplies 2500W, 2700W, and 3000W can operate at two different
voltage levels (110Vac and 220Vac). The Power supply output depends on the
supplied input AC power. This table shows the power ouput:
Power Output at Power Output at
Power Supply
110Vac, 16A 220Vac, 16A
2500W 1300W 2500W
2700W 1350W 2700W
3000W 1400W 3000W
The AC power cords are hardwired to the 4000W Power supplies
(WS-CAC-4000W-US=). It supports only NEMA L6-30.
The 6000W power supply cannot be installed in the Catalyst 6503, Catalyst
6503-E, and Catalyst 6504-E switch chassis.
When 6000W power supply is used with the chassis Catalyst 6506, 6509,
6509-NEB, and 6509-NEB-A, it operates at 4000W maximum output. It
operates at 6000W maximum output when it is used with Catalyst 6506-E,
6509-E, and 6513.
6000W power supply has two AC Power inputs. These are the various
combinations of AC inputs and the corresponding net power output:

220Vac, 16A 110Vac, 16A 2900W
220Vac, 16A 220Vac, 16A 6000W
Note: If you have 110Vac power inputs, you have to connect both the AC
inputs of the 6000W power supply in order to power on the switch.
The Catalyst 6500 series switches allow you to mix AC-input and DC-input
power supplies in the same chassis.
The modules have different power requirements, and some configurations require
more power than a single power supply can provide. The power management
feature allows you to power all installed modules with two power supplies. But,
redundancy is not supported in this configuration because the total power drawn
from both power supplies is at no time greater than the capability of one supply.
Refer the Power Management and Environmental Monitoring of the Catalyst 6500
Software Configuration Guide for the detailed explanation of Power redundancy.
Note: This document does not discuss the total power available with the currently
shipped power supplies for Catalyst 6500/6000 series switches or the amount drawn
from each Catalyst 6500/6000 series line card. Refer to the documentPower
Management for Catalyst 6000 Series Switches for this information.
