10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports

The 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 UTP cable.

For more information about the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port connections and specifications, see the “10/100/1000 Ethernet Port Connections” section on page 2-27and Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications.”

PoE Ports

The 10/100/1000 PoE ports provide PoE support for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af and also provide Cisco pre-standard PoE support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.

Each port can deliver up to 15.4 W of PoE. With the 1150-W power-supply module, the

Catalyst 3750E-48PS and Catalyst 3560E-48PS switches can deliver 15.4 W on all 48 ports. With the 750-W power-supply module, the switches can deliver 15.4 W of PoE on any 24 of the 48 ports, or any combination of the ports can deliver an average of 7.7 W of PoE at the same time, up to a maximum switch power output of 370 W. On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a PoE port automatically provides power when an IP phone or an access point is connected.

Cisco intelligent power management capabilities include enhanced power negotiation, power reservation, and per-port power policing. For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports, see the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com at this location:

3750-E, 3560-E specifications

Cisco Systems RPS (Redundant Power System) 2300, along with the 3750-E and 3560-E series switches, represents a significant technological advancement in enterprise networking. These devices are designed to enhance network reliability, scalability, and efficiency, making them integral components in modern enterprise infrastructures.

The Cisco RPS 2300 is designed to provide redundant power to specified Cisco switches, ensuring continuous operation during power disruptions. This system can support up to six devices, enhancing power reliability and reducing downtime. The modularity of the RPS 2300 contributes to its flexibility, allowing enterprises to customize their power solutions to suit their networking needs. It features dual power input, which provides an additional layer of failover capability, ensuring that even in the event of a primary power failure, the backup power system can take over seamlessly.

On the other hand, the Cisco 3750-E series switches are enterprise-class devices that offer a rich feature set to support advanced network functions. These switches come with Cisco’s StackWise technology, enabling users to stack up to nine switches in a single logical unit. This increases port density and simplifies network management. The 3750-E also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing the delivery of power directly to devices like IP phones and access points through the networking cables. The switch is equipped with high-performance Layer 3 routing capabilities, providing enhanced IP routing options for enterprise networks.

The Cisco 3560-E series switches share many of the advanced features found in the 3750-E models but focus more on providing comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities in a compact design. The 3560-E series supports Cisco’s advanced security features, such as dynamic VLAN assignment and security group access control lists (ACLs). Additionally, these switches support IPv6, preparing enterprise networks for future growth and addressing requirements.

Both the 3750-E and 3560-E are equipped with energy-efficient technologies, including intelligent power management and support for Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), helping organizations reduce their environmental footprint and operating costs. The integration of Cisco’s robust IOS software ensures that these devices are equipped with the latest features, ensuring strong performance, security, and scalability.

In summary, Cisco's RPS 2300, 3750-E, and 3560-E series exemplify the company's commitment to delivering cutting-edge networking solutions that meet the demands of modern enterprises, focusing on reliability, advanced features, and energy efficiency.
