Cisco 550X Series Stackable Managed Switches Quick Start Guide

OTE

A Category 6A or higher cable is required for 10G ports; a 

Category 5e or higher cable is required for all other ports. When you 
connect your network devices, do not exceed the maximum cabling 
distance of 100 meters (328 feet). It can take up to one minute for 
attached devices or the LAN to be operational after it is connected. This 
is normal behavior.

Power over Ethernet Considerations

W

ARNING

The switch is to be connected only to PoE networks without 
routing to the outside plant.

If your switch is one of the Power over Ethernet (PoE) models, consider the 
following power requirement:
