Connecting Category 5 UTP Ethernet Cables to the RJ45 Ports
TheRJ45connectionsoftheK‐Serieslinecardsare10/100/1000Mbpsports.Theyhaveinternal
crossoversandsupportautomatic‐polaritysensingwhicheliminatestheneedforacrossover
cable,regardlessofwhethertheconnectionistoanothernetworkdeviceoraworkstation.
1. Ensurethatthefar‐enddeviceconnectedto
theotherendofthesegmentispoweredON.
2. Connectthefar‐enddevice’stwistedpairsegmentintotheappropriateK‐SerieslinecardRJ45
portconnector.
3. VerifythatalinkexistsbycheckingthattheportRX(Receive)LEDisON(flashingamber,
blinkinggreen,orsolidgreen).
IftheRX
LEDisOFFandtheTX(Transmit)LEDisnotblinkingamber,performthefollowing
stepsuntilitison:
a. VerifythatcablingisCategory5UTPwithanimpedancebetween85and111 ohms.Ifthe
portistooperateat100 Mbpsor1000Mbps,youmustuseCategory 5cabling.
b. Verifythat
thedeviceattheotherendofthetwistedpairsegmentisonandproperly
connectedtothesegment.
c. VerifythattheRJ45connectorsonthetwistedpairsegmenthavetheproperpinoutsand
checkthecableforcontinuity.
Ifalinkisnotestablished,refertoChapter 4,Troubleshooting,for
details.
4. Repeatsteps1–3,untilallconnectionshavebeenmade.
Connecting Pluggable Transceivers to SFP and SFP+ Ports
Installing a Pluggable Transceiver
Thissectiondescribeshowtoinstallthefollowing:

Note: All RJ45 front panel ports on the K-Series line cards support Category 5 Unshielded Twisted
Pair (UTP) cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. You can use Category 3 cable
only for 10 Mbps connections.
Warning: Fiber-optic SFPs and SFP+s use Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical instruments to view
the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When
viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.
Advertencia: Los transmisores receptores de fibra óptica SFP y SFP+ conectables utilizan
sistemas de láser clase 1. No emplee instrumentos ópticos para ver la salida del láser. Hacerlo
podría incrementar el riesgo de daño en los ojos. Cuando se revise el puerto óptico de salida,
deberá cortarse la energía del adaptador de red.
Warnhinweis: Faseroptische, steckbare Transceiver der Typen SFP und SFP+ verwenden Laser
der Klasse 1. Zur Ansicht der Laserausgabe dürfen keine optischen Geräte verwendet werden, da
hierdurch die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Gefährdung der Augen erhöht wird. Vor der Inspektion des
optischen Ausgangsanschlusses muss das Stromkabel des Netzwerkadapters herausgezogen
werden.
