    Pin assignments Select an Ethernet twisted pair cable according to the RJ-45 Ethernet interface type on your device. An RJ-45 Ethernet interface can be MDI (for routers and PCs) or MDIX (for switches). For the pinouts of RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces, see Table 48 Table Table 48 RJ-45 MDI interface pinouts...

    Patch cords are classified into SC, LC, FC, and so on based on interface type. The length of a patch cord can be 0.5 m (1.64 ft), 1 m (3.28 ft), 2 m (6.56 ft), 3 m (9.84 ft), 5 m (16.40 ft), 10 m (32.81 ft), and so Pigtail cord A pigtail cord is an optical fiber that has an optical connector on one end and a length of exposed fiber on the other.

  • Page 92: Appendix E Cabling Recommendations

    Appendix E Cabling recommendations When the switch is mounted in a 19-inch standard rack, the interface cables are routed through the cable management brackets, bound at cabling racks on chassis sides, and then routed up or down to pass through the chassis top or the raised floor, depending on the available equipment room condition. The power cables run along the two sides of the chassis and out of the chassis either from the chassis top or the raised floor depending on the equipment room conditions (power distribution cabinet, lightning protection box, connector strip, and so on) of the exchange office.
