Connecting Gigabit Ethernet Interface Cables
The RJ-45 port supports standard straight-through and crossover Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP) cables. Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5 UTP cables; these cables are available
commercially.
Complete the following steps to connect the cable to the router Gigabit Ethernet port:
Step 1 Confirm that the router is powered off.
Step 2 Connect one end of the cable to the GE port on the router.
Step 3 Connect the other end to the BTS patch or demarcation panel at your site.
For more information about Gigabit Ethernet connectors including pinouts, see “Gigabit Ethernet
Connector Pinouts” section on page B-1
