APPENDIX A
Cable and Port Specifications
This appendix includes the cables and connectors used with the Cisco MDS 9132T Multilayer Fabric Switch.
We strongly recommend that power cable runs and other potential noise sources be located as far away
as practical from network cabling that terminates on Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel
cable runs exist but cannot be separated by at least 3.3 ft. (1 m), we recommend that you shield these
potential noise sources. To avoid interference, the source should be shielded by housing it in a grounded
metallic conduit.
