The back of the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and
7941G/7941G-GE include these ports:
• Network port

Each port supports 10/100 Mbps or 10/100/1000 half- or full-duplex connections
to external devices. You can use either Category 3 or 5 cabling for 10 Mbps
connections, but you must use Category 5 for 100 and 1000 Mbps connections.

straight-through cable on these ports. The phone can also obtain inline power
from a switch over these connections. See the “Adding Phones to the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Database” section on page 2-13 for details.
Use the PC access port to connect a network device, such as a computer, to the
