Prepare for Router Installation
Before you install the Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers, you must prepare your site for the
installation. This chapter provides pre-installation information, such as recommendations and requirements
that should be considered before installing your router.
See the following sections to prepare for installation:
Ethernet Connections
The IEEE has established Ethernet as standard IEEE 802.3. The routers support the following Ethernet
implementations:
Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328
feet (100 meters).
1000BASE-T—1000 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a
Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328
feet (100 meters).
100BASE-T—100 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a
Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
Supports the Ethernet maximum length of 328
feet (100 meters).
10BASE-T—10 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a
Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
See the Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications document at Cisco.com for information about
Ethernet cables, connectors, and pinouts.

or other components)
• Screws that fit your rack
• A wire crimper
