Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP Modules

Follow these steps to connect a Category 5 or higher cable to a 1000BASE-T SFP module (see Figure 2-23):

RJ-45 connector

Caution To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.

Step 1 When connecting to servers, workstations, and routers, insert a four twisted-pair, straight-through cable in the RJ-45 connector. When connecting to switches or repeaters, insert a four twisted-pair, crossover cable.

Note When connecting to a 1000BASE-T device, be sure to use a four twisted-pair, Category 5 or higher cable.

You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100, 10/100/1000, or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection.

Step 2 Insert the other cable end in an RJ-45 connector on a target device.

Step 3 Observe the port status LED.

The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link.

The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.

If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” for solutions to cabling problems.

Step 4 If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.
