Connecting To The Switch Ports - Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Started Manual

Connecting to the Switch Ports

Connect to the 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Ports
Step 1 When you connect to servers, workstations,
IP phones, wireless access points, and routers,
insert a straight-through, twisted four-pair,
Category 5 cable in a switch 10/100 or
10/100/1000 port. Use a crossover, twisted
four-pair, Category 5 cable when you connect
to other switches, hubs, or repeaters.
Step 2 Insert the other cable end into an RJ-45 port on the other device.

This section describes how to connect to the fixed switch ports and to the SFP
module ports.
The fixed ports on the Catalyst 2960-S Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) switches
provide:
PoE+ support for IEEE 802.3at-compliant powered devices
•
PoE support for IEEE 802.3af-compliant powered devices
•
Support for Cisco enhanced PoE (ePoE)
•
They also provide Cisco prestandard PoE support for Cisco IP phones and Cisco
Aironet Access Points. See the switch hardware guide for information on PoE
budgeting.
By default, a Catalyst 2960-S switch PoE port automatically provides power when
a compliant device is connected, including ePoE, PoE, and PoE+. For information
about configuring and monitoring PoE and PoE+ ports, see the switch software
configuration guide.
