The RJ-45 console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connection. The supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable is used
to connect the console port of the switch to a console PC. You need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female
DTE adapter if you want to connect the switch console port to a terminal.

For cabling specifications, refer to the following notes:
• Cisco SFP and SFP+ Transceiver Module Installation Notes
• Cisco 40-Gigabit QSFP+ Transceiver Modules Installation Note
Each port must match the wavelength specifications on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not
exceed the stipulated cable length. Copper 1000BASE-T SFP module transceivers use standard four twisted-pair,
Category 5 cable at lengths up to 328 feet (100 meters).
