Appendix B Connector and Cable Specifications
Connector Specifications
Note Use a straight-through cable to connect two ports only when one port is designated with an X. Use a
crossover cable to connect two ports when both ports are designated with an X or when both ports do
not have an X.
This applies only to switches on which Auto-MDIX is disabled.
SFP Module Ports
The Catalyst 3560 switch uses SFP modules for fiber-optic and copper uplinks. See the Catalyst 3560
release notes for a list of supported SFP modules.

Figure B-4 Copper SFP Module RJ-45 Connector
Console Port
The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector, which is described in Table B-1 and Table B-2. The
supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable is used to connect the console port of the switch to a console PC.
You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you want to connect the switch console
port to a terminal. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from
Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see Ta ble B -1 and Table B-2.
