Connecting to the Switch Ports
This section describes how to connect to the fixed switch ports and to the SFP
module ports.
Connect to the 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Ports
The fixed ports on the Catalyst 2960-S Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) switches
provide:
• PoE+ support for IEEE 802.3at-compliant powered devices
• PoE support for IEEE 802.3af-compliant powered devices
• Support for Cisco enhanced PoE (ePoE)
They also provide Cisco prestandard PoE support for Cisco IP phones and Cisco
Aironet Access Points. See the switch hardware guide for information on PoE
budgeting.
By default, a Catalyst 2960-S switch PoE port automatically provides power when
a compliant device is connected, including ePoE, PoE, and PoE+. For information
about configuring and monitoring PoE and PoE+ ports, see the switch software
configuration guide.
Step 1
When you connect to servers, workstations,
IP phones, wireless access points, and routers,
insert a straight-through, twisted four-pair,
Category 5 cable in a switch 10/100 or
10/100/1000 port. Use a crossover, twisted
four-pair, Category 5 cable when you connect
to other switches, hubs, or repeaters.
Step 2
Insert the other cable end into an RJ-45 port on the other device.
