TEP 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each device you want to connect to 
the managed switch.
NOTE  Cisco strongly recommends using Cat5 or better cable for Gigabit 
connectivity. When you connect your network devices, do not exceed 
the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters (328 feet). It can take up to 
one minute for attached devices or the LAN to be operational after it is 
connected. This is normal behavior.

If your switch is one of the PoE models, consider the following table for
