This appendix describes the connectors for the following types of Catalyst 2800 modules:

FDDI modules

Fast Ethernet modules

FDDI Modules

This section describes the following:

UTP RJ-45 connector

FDDI MIC connectors

Optical bypass switch connector

UTP SAS Connector Pinouts

The UTP SAS module uses standard RJ-45 connectors. The arrangement of the pins is shown in . Note that connector shells are attached to chassis ground. Stations are always attached with a cross-over cable.

Connector shells are attached to chassis ground. The 100Base-TX ports have their transmit (TD) and receive (RD) pairs internally crossed (designated by the x) for attachment to an adapter using a straight-through cable.

The straight-through and crossover cable schematics are shown in and .
