Cajun switch cable types include:

■Fiber cables with SC-type connectors

■Straight-through Category 5 cables with male RJ-45 connectors (end station/NIC (network interface card) card connections). All I/O ports are crossed over internally so you can use straight-through cables to attach to end stations.

■Crossover cables with male RJ-45 connectors (switch-to- switch connections).

The types of cable for the ethernet console (out-of-band) are different. Refer to Chapter 2, “Configuring the Cajun Switch (Layer 2 & Layer 3),” for more information.
