10/100BASE-T Ports

Follow these steps to connect to the 10/100BASE-T ports:

Step 1 When you connect to servers, workstations, IP phones, wireless access points, and routers, use a straight-through, twisted four-pair, Category 5 cable to connect to the 10/100BASE-T RJ-45 connector. Use a crossover, twisted four-pair, Category 5 cable when you connect to other switches, hubs, or repeaters.

Note The first four 10/100BASE-T ports on the GRWIC-D-ES-2S-8PC switch module have PoE+ capability. See the Cisco Connected Grid Ethernet Switch Module Interface Card Software Configuration Guide for more information.
