Cable and Port Specifications

The section provides the cable and port specifications, and includes the following:

Cables and Adapters Provided

The Cisco MDS 9700 Series accessory kit includes the following items:

  • RJ-45 rollover cable

  • RJ-45/DSUB F/F adapter—RJ-45 to DB-25 female DTE adapter (labeled “Terminal”)

  • RJ-45/DSUB R/P adapter—RJ-45 to DB-25 male DCE adapter (labeled “Modem”)


Note


  • Additional cables and adapters can be ordered from your customer service representative.

  • If you purchased Cisco support through a Cisco reseller, contact the reseller directly. If you purchased support directly from Cisco Systems, contact Cisco Technical Support at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_worldwide_contacts.html


Console Port

The console port is an asynchronous RS-232 serial port with an RJ-45 connector. You can use the RJ-45 rollover cable and the RJ-45/DSUB F/F adapter or the RJ-45F PC terminal adapter to connect the console port to a computer running terminal emulation software.

Supported Power Cords and Plugs

Each power supply has a separate power cord. Standard power cords or jumper power cords are available for connection to a power distribution unit having IEC 60320 C19 outlet receptacles.

Power Cords

The standard power cords have an IEC C19 connector on the end that plugs into the switch. The optional jumper power cords have an IEC C19 connector on the end that plugs into the switch, and an IEC C20 connector on the end that plugs into an IEC C19 outlet receptacle.


Note


  • Only the regular power cords or jumper power cords are provided with the switch.

  • If you do not order the optional power cord with the system, you are responsible for selecting the appropriate power cord for the product. Using a non-compatible power cord with this product may result in electrical safety hazard. Orders delivered to Argentina, Brazil, and Japan must have the appropriate power cord ordered with the system.


The following table lists the power cords for the Cisco MDS 9700 Series switch and provides their lengths in feet and meters.
