Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP
When connecting to a 1000BASE-T device, be sure to use a four twisted-pair, Category 5 or higher cable.
The automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is enabled by default. For
configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command
reference on Cisco.com.
Note
To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.
Caution
SUMMARY STEPS

you connect to switches or repeaters.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device.
3. Observe the port status LED.
4. If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or other device.
