Cisco CATALYST 6509E 9 SLOT 15U CHASSIS NO POWER SUPPLY NO FAN TRAY Specification Guide

Insert the GBIC transceiver into the socket until you feel the GBIC transceiver module connector snap 
into place in the socket connector.

For optical GBIC transceivers, before removing the dust plugs and making any optical connections, 
observe the following guidelines:

Always keep the protective dust plugs on the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and the 
transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.

Always inspect and clean the SC connector end-faces just before making any connections. (See the 
Tip on this page for a pointer to more information about fiber-optic inspection and cleaning.)

Always grasp the SC connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.

Remove the dust plugs from the network interface cable SC connectors. Save the dust plugs for future 
use.

Inspect and clean the fiber-optic end-faces on the SC connector. (See the Tip below for a pointer to more 
information about fiber-optic inspection and cleaning.)

Remove the dust plugs from the GBIC transceiver optical bores.

Immediately attach the network interface cable SC connector to the GBIC transceiver.

To connect 1000BASE-T GBIC transceivers to a copper network, perform the following substeps:

To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded, 
shielded, twisted-pair, Category 5 cabling.

Insert the Category 5 network cable RJ-45 connector into the GBIC transceiver.

When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible server, workstation, or router, use four 
twisted-pair, straight-through Category 5 cabling for the GBIC transceiver port. When 
connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four twisted-pair, crossover 
Category 5 cabling.

Insert the other end of the network cable into an RJ-45 port on a 1000BASE-T-compatible target 
device.
