PoE Ports
The ports provide PoE support for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at and also provide
PoE support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points. The PoE switch ports are Power Source
equipment (PSE) and Power Device (PD) capable and source power to PD devices connected to the downlink
ports. A switch can source POE power of up to 30.8W per port.
Depending on the switch model and the number of PoE ports, the maximum switch power output varies
between 236.89 W to 440.66 W. On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a port automatically
provides power when an IP phone or an access point is connected.
The PoE ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T
traffic requires Category 5 or Category 5e twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3
or Category 4 UTP cable.
10/100/1000 Ports
The 10/100/1000 ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX,
1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5 or Category 5e twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can
use Category 3 or Category 4 UTP cable.
Console Ports
The console ports connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server.
• RJ-45 console port (EIA/TIA-232). The RJ-45 console port connection uses an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female
cable.
• USB mini-Type B console port (5-pin connector).
If you use the USB mini-Type B console port, the Cisco Windows USB device driver must be installed on
any PC connected to the console port (for operation with Microsoft Windows). Mac OS X or Linux do not
require special drivers.
The 4-pin mini-Type B connector resembles the 5-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible. Use
only the 5-pin mini-Type B.
