Connecting the Switch Ports
10/100 or 10/100/1000 Ports
Step 1
When you connect to servers, workstations,
IP phones, wireless access points, and routers,
use a straight-through, twisted four-pair,
Category 5 cable in a 10/100 or 10/100/1000
port. Use a crossover, twisted four-pair,
Category 5 cable when you connect to other
switches, hubs, or repeaters.
Step 2
Connect the other cable end to an RJ-45 port on the other device.

The 10/100 ports on the Cisco IE-3010-16S-8PC support Power over Ethernet
(PoE) and enhanced PoE (ePoE). See the switch software configuration guide for
more information.
The automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is
enabled by default. The switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet
connections and configures the interfaces. You can use either a crossover or a
straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100/1000 module port on
the switch, regardless of the type of connected device.
