APPENDIX A
Cable and Port Specifications
This appendix includes the cables and connectors used with the Cisco MDS 9396T 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.
