Connection Equipment and Specifications
Connection Equipment and Specifications
This section contains connection equipment and pinout information for the Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports,
Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) ports, console port, and auxiliary port that are located on the
NPE-G1.
Ethernet and Fast Ethernet RJ-45 Connection Equipment
The NPE-G1 has RJ-45 ports for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet or autosensing Ethernet,
Fast
Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet connections. The RJ-45 port supports IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) and
IEEE
802.3u (Fast Ethernet) interfaces compliant with 10BASET, 100BASETX, and 1000BASET and
1000BASEX specifications.
The RJ-45 ports support standard straight-through and crossover Category 5 UTP cables with RJ-45
connectors. (See
Figure 5-5) Cisco does not supply Category 5 UTP cables; these cables are available
commercially.
