10/100 and 10/100/1000 Fast Ethernet Downlink Ports
You can set the 10/100 ports to operate at 10 or 100 Mb/s in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. You can
set the 10/100/1000 ports to operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. You
can also set these ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation. (The default setting is autonegotiate.)
Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) is a feature that allows the switch
interface to detect the required cable connection type (straight-through or crossover) and automatically
configure the connection appropriately. With auto-MDIX enabled, you can use either a straight-through
or crossover type cable to connect to the other device, and the interface automatically corrects for any
incorrect cabling. In all cases, the attached device must be within 328 feet (100 meters)
The 10/100/1000 ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is
328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5, Category 5e, or
Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or
Category 4 UTP cable.
For information about port connections and port specifications, see the “Connecting to the 10/100 and
10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-33.
PoE Ports (Switches with PoE Ports)
The PoE and PoE+ ports provide PoE support for devices compliant with 802.3af and 802.3at and also
provide Cisco prestandard PoE and PoE+ support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.
All 8 downlink ports on the Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L, 2960C-8PC-L, 2960C-12-PC-L, and the
3560CPD-8PT-S and are PoE-capable. Each port can supply 15.4 W of PoE per port.
OL-23803-02
The maximum switch power output for the Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L is 22.4 W, and for the
Catalyst 3560CPD-8PT-S is 15.4 W. The maximum switch power output for the Catalyst 2960C-8PC-L
and the 2960C-12-PC-L is 123.2 W.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
All 8 or 12 downlink ports on the Catalyst,3560CG-8PC-S, 3560C-8PC-S, and 3560C-12PC-S switches
are PoE+ capable. The maximum switch power output is 123.2 W. You can budget the PoE and PoE+:
• 15.4 W of PoE output on eight ports
• 30 W of PoE+ on four ports
On a per-port basis, you control whether or not a port automatically provides power when an IP phone
or an access point is connected.
The 10/100/1000 PoE ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is
328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5, Category 5e, or
Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or
Category 4 UTP cable.
Cisco intelligent power management capabilities include enhanced power negotiation, power
reservation, and per-port power policing. For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports,
see the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com.
For information about port connections and port specifications, see the “Connecting to the 10/100 and
10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-33.
NoteThe output of the PoE circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.
PoE Pass-Through
The Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L and 3560CPD-8PT-S switches provide PoE pass-through. The
Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L is powered either through the 10/100/1000 PoE uplink ports receiving power
from a PoE or PoE+ switch or through an auxiliary power adapter. The Catalyst 3560CPD-8PT-S is
powered through the 10/100/1000 PoE uplink ports receiving power from a PoE+ switch or through an
auxiliary power adapter. If the switch has surplus power (see Tab l e 1-2), it can power other PoE-capable
devices such as IP phones, access points, and so on. See Figure 1-6.
See the “Powering the Switch” section on page 2-4 for information on powering the switches.

Some models have an USB Type A port. This port provides access to external Cisco USB flash devices
(also known as thumb drives or USB keys). The port supports Cisco USB flash drives with capacities
from 64 MB to 1 GB.
Cisco IOS software provides standard file system access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy,
as well as the capability to format the flash device with a FAT file system.
For more information about the switch management ports, see the switch software configuration guide
and the command reference on Cisco.com.
Front Panel
Dual-Purpose Ports
You can configure the dual-purpose ports on the switch as either 10/100/1000 ports or as SFP-module
ports. You can set the 10/100/1000 ports to autonegotiate, or you can configure them as fixed 10, 100,
or 1000 Mb/s (Gigabit) Ethernet ports.
By default, the switch selects the medium for each dual-purpose port (10/100/1000BASE-T or SFP).
When a link is achieved on one media type, the switch disables the other media type until the active link
goes down. If links are active on both media, the SFP-module port has priority, but you can use the
media-type interface configuration command to manually designate the port as an RJ-45 port or an SFP
port.
You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with the selected media type. For information
on configuring interfaces, see the switch software configuration guide.
SFP Modules
The switch Ethernet SFP modules provide connections to other devices. These field-replaceable
transceiver modules provide the uplink interfaces.The modules have LC connectors for fiber-optic
connections or RJ-45 connectors for copper connections.
You can use any combination of these supported SFP modules:
• GLC-LH-SM=
• GLC-SX-MM=
• GLC-ZX-SM=
OL-23803-02
• GLC-BX-D=
• GLC-BX-U=

For information about SFP modules, see your SFP module documentation and the “Installing SFP
Modules” section on page 2-31. For cable specifications, see the “SFP Module Cables” section on
page B-3.
Management Ports
You can connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server through either
the RJ-45 console port or the USB mini-Type B console port, also referred to as the USB-mini console port.
• RJ-45 console port. The RJ-45 connection uses an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.
• USB-mini console port (5-pin connector). The USB connection uses a USB Type A-to-5-pin
mini-Type B cable.
The USB-mini console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.
To use the USB-mini console port, you must install the Cisco Windows USB device driver on the device
that is connected to the USB-mini console port and that is running Microsoft Windows.
Chapter 1 Product Overview
NoteFor information about downloading the Cisco USB device driver, see the “Installing the Cisco Microsoft
Windows USB Device Drivers” section on page C-4.
With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, connecting and disconnecting the USB cable from the
console port does not affect Windows HyperTerminal operations. Mac OS X or Linux require no special
drivers.
NoteThe 5-pin mini-Type B connectors resemble the 4-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible.
Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B. See Figure 1-7.
Figure 1-7USB Mini-Type B Port
253163
The configurable inactivity timeout reactivates the RJ-45 console port if the USB-mini console port is
activated, but no input activity occurs for a specified time period. When the USB-mini console port
deactivates due to a timeout, you can restore its operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB
cable. For information on using the CLI to configure the USB-mini console interface, see the switch
software guide.
