WS-G5483 Copper GBIC
The WS-G5483 GBIC uses Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP/FTP
cable to provide 1000BASE-T full-duplex connectivity between the Gigabit
Ethernet module or supervisor engine and the network up to a distance of 328 feet
(100 meters). (See Figure 2-9.) Refer to your release notes or the online
1000BASE-T GBIC Switch Compatibility Matrix posted with the GBIC
documentation on Cisco.com for the list of modules and the required software
release level necessary to support this GBIC.
Caution To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding, lightening-immunity requirements, you
must use foil-twisted pair (FTP) cable that is properly grounded at both ends.
