10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports
The 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports use standard 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 more information about the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port connections and specifications, see the
“10/100/1000 Ethernet Port Connections” section on page 2-16

10-Gigabit Ethernet Module Slots
The switch 10-Gigabit Ethernet module slots are used for uplink connection to other switches and
routers. The module slots operate in full-duplex mode and use the hot-swappable Cisco X2 transceiver
modules and the Cisco TwinGig Converter Module.
For the list of supported X2 transceiver modules, see the switch release notes on Cisco.com.

Cisco TwinGig Converter Module
The Cisco TwinGig Converter Module, also known as the
converter module
, has two SFP module slots
that convert a 10-Gigabit slot into a dual SFP module interface to establish Gigabit uplinks to network
devices.
