10/100/1000 Ports
The 10/100/1000 ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet
(100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires twisted pair (UTP) cable of Category 5
or higher. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 cable or higher.
PoE and PoE+ Ports
The PoE and PoE+ ports provide the following functionality:
• PoE/PoE+ ports: Support for IEEE 802.3af-compliant powered devices (up to 15.4W PoE per port) and
support for IEEE 802.3at-compliant powered devices (up to 30W PoE+ per port).
• Support for pre-standard Cisco powered devices.
• Configurable support for Cisco intelligent power management, including enhanced power negotiation,
power reservation, and per-port power policing.
See the Internal Power Supply, on page 7 for the power supply matrix that defines the available PoE and
PoE+ power per port. The PoE circuit has been evaluated to meet the limits for Limited Power Source (LPS)
per Annex Q in IEC/UL 62368-1. It has also been evaluated as a class ES1, PS2.

Product Overview
10/100/1000 Ports

C9200CX-12T only PD Port
The PD port on C9200CX-12T switches is a 802.3bt class 6 port capable of powering the switch. It can deliver
PoE power of 51W to power the switch as an alternative to the auxiliary power input. The PD power is mutually
exclusive from the auxiliary power input and power input takes priority when used.
USB Type A Port
The USB Type A port provides access to external USB flash devices (also known as thumb drives or USB
keys).
The port supports Cisco USB flash drives with capacities from 128 MB to 8 GB. USB devices with port
densities of 128 MB, 256 MB, 1 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB are supported. Cisco IOS software provides standard
file system access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy, as well as the ability to format the flash
device with a FAT file system.
It provides you with the ability to automatically upgrade the internal flash with the USB drive's configuration
and image for emergency switch recovery using USB auto-upgrade. This feature checks the internal flash for
a bootable image and configuration and if either image or the configuration is not available, then the USB
drive is checked for boot images and configuration. If the boot image and configuration are available, these
are copied to flash for the reboot.
USB Micro-B Port
The USB Micro-B port on the front panel that provides administrative access to the switch through a console
terminal or a PC. It allows you to use a PC, Mac, or Linux machine with the appropriate drivers to connect
to the USB micro Type-B port and gain access to the console port on the switch.
Alternatively, if you want to access the console using an RJ45 connection, you must use the Cisco USB
micro-B to RJ45 adapter.
SD Card Slot
Cisco Catalyst 9200CX compact switches support an SD (Secure Digital) Card that extends the onboard flash
storage memory on the switch.
The SD card can be used instead of the internal flash memory of the switch to update or restore configuration
settings. Additionally, the SD card can be used to boot the switch. You can boot a switch from its internal
flash memory or from an SD card; SD card takes precedence over internal flash memory. You can also copy
IOS software and switch configuration settings from a PC or from the switch to the SD card, and then use the
SD card to copy this software and settings to other switches.
You can access an SD card using the switch boot loader or the command prompt.

RFID Tag
The switch has a built-in, front-facing, passive RFID tag that uses UHF RFID technology and requires an
RFID reader with compatible software. It provides auto-identification capabilities for asset management and
tracking. The RFID tags are compatible with the Generation 2 GS1 EPC Global Standard and are ISO 18000-6C
compliant. They operate in the 860- to 960-MHz UHF band. For more information, see Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) on Cisco Catalyst 9000 Family Switches White Paper.
Auxiliary Power Adapter
C9200CX-12T-2X2G switches can be powered either through the 1G copper uplink port connected to a PoE
PSE port capable of providing IEEE 802.3bt Class 6 power or through an auxiliary AC-DC(PWR-ADPT) or
DC-DC(C9K-ADPT-DC) power adapter. If the switch has both PD power and auxiliary power adapter
connected, the auxiliary power takes precedence over PD power and the PD port gets disabled. If both are
connected and the auxiliary power source is removed, the switch resets for the PD to perform detection and
classification before providing power to the system.
You can order the AC-DC power adapter with the switch, or you can order it later from your Cisco
representative.

Installation Guidelines
When determining where to install the switch, verify that these guidelines are met:
• Clearance to the switch front and rear panel meets these conditions:
• Front-panel LEDs can be easily read.
• AC power cord reaches from the power outlet to the connector on the switch.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting
fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables.
• Installation temperature should be measured within 1 inches from the sides of the switch. Airflow around
the switch and through the vents is unrestricted. To avoid any airflow blockage, we recommend the
following:
• Allow at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance around the switch.
• When placing the switch on a flat horizontal surface, attach the rubber feet to the switch.
• Maximum installation temperature may be limited by the SFPs used. Refer to the datasheet for specific
restrictions.
• For 10/100/1000 fixed ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices can be up to 328 feet
(100 meters).

Preparing for Installation
Installation Guidelines

• Temperature around the unit should not exceed 45°C below 5,000 feet. For more information, see
Temperature.
• Humidity around the switch does not exceed 95 percent. For more information, see Humidity.
• Altitude at the installation site is not greater than 5,000 feet. For more information, see Altitude.
• Install this equipment in an environment as free from dust and foreign conductive material (such as metal
flakes from construction activities) as is possible. Dust and other particles causing contaminant buildup
inside the chassis can result in system malfunction. For more information, see Air Quality and Corrosion.
For more information on choosing a location for the switch installation, see Site Requirements.
Site Requirements
Planning a proper location for the switch and layout of the equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for
successful system operation. These sections describe some of the basic site requirements that you should be
aware of as you prepare to install your switch, including the following:
• Environmental factors can adversely affect the performance and longevity of your system.
• Install the switch in an enclosed, secure area, ensuring that only qualified personnel have access to the
switch and control of the environment.
• Equipment that is placed too closely together or that is inadequately ventilated may cause system
over-temperature conditions, leading to premature component failure.
• Poor equipment placement can make chassis panels inaccessible and difficult to maintain.
• The switch requires a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and air-conditioned environment.
• To ensure normal operation, maintain ambient airflow. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the
intake air is too warm, an over-temperature condition may occur. The switch environmental monitor may
then shut down the system to protect the system components.
Temperature
Temperature extremes may cause a system to operate at reduced efficiency and cause a variety of problems,
including premature aging and failure of chips, and failure of mechanical devices. Extreme temperature
fluctuations may also cause chips to become loose in their sockets. Observe the following guidelines:
• Ensure that the chassis has adequate ventilation.
• Do not place the chassis within a closed-in wall unit or on top of cloth, which can act as insulation.
• Do not place the chassis where it will receive direct sunlight, particularly in the afternoon.
• Do not place the chassis next to a heat source of any kind, including heating vents.
• Adequate ventilation is particularly important at high altitudes. Make sure that all the slots and openings
on the system remain unobstructed.
• Clean the installation site at regular intervals to avoid buildup of dust and debris, which may cause a
system to overheat.
