Catalyst 3560-C and 2960-C Switch Getting Started Guide
• Airflow around the switch and through the vents must be unrestricted. We
strongly recommend that you allow at least 3 in. (7.6 cm) of clearance from
the left, right, and top sides of the switch to avoid any flow blockage. If you
are installing the switch in a rack, allow at least 1.75 in. (4 cm) of empty rack
space above each switch.
• When placing the switch on a flat horizontal surface, we strongly recommend
that you attach the rubber feet to the switch.
• For 10/100/1000 fixed ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected
devices can be up to 328 feet (100 meters).
• For cable lengths for small form-factor pluggable (SFP)-module connections,
see the hardware installation guide on Cisco.com and the module
documentation.
