RJ-45 Connectors

RJ-45 Connectors
The RJ-45 connector connects Category 3, Category 5, Category 5e, Category 6, or Category 6A foil twisted-pair
or unshielded twisted-pair cable from the external network to the following module interface connectors:
• Router chassis
Caution
To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding, lightning immunity requirements, you must use a foil twisted-pair

Install and Remove QSFP Transceiver Modules

This section provides the installation, cabling, and removal instructions for the Quad Small Form-Factor
Pluggable transceiver modules. The modules are hot-swappable I/O devices that connect the system's module
port electrical circuitry with either a copper or a fiber-optic network.
The following figure shows a 40-Gigabit QSFP+ optical transceiver. The transceiver is used primarily in short
reach applications in switches, routers, and data center equipment where it provides higher density than SFP+
modules. The QSFP-DD optical transceiver and 100-Gigabit QSFP28 optical transceiver are similar to the
40-Gigabit QSFP+ optical transceiver.
