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 Power Supply Modules, on page 9 for the power supply matrix that defines the available PoE and
PoE+ power per port. The output of the PoE+ circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS)
per IEC 60950-1.

Product Overview
10/100/1000 Ports

Multigigabit Ethernet Ports
The Multigigabit (mGig) Ethernet ports can be configured to auto-negotiate multiple speeds on switch ports.
The ports support 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, and 5 Gbps speeds on Category 5e (Cat5e) cables, and up to
10 Gbps over Category 6 (Cat6) and Category 6A (Cat6A) cables up to a maximum of 100 m. 10Gbps over
Cat6 cable is limited for distances up to 55 m. For 10GBASE-T, Cat6a can support up to 100 m when
transmitting 10Gbps. Due to the extra bandwidth requirements from the cable, additional limitations exist for
best performance. These limitations include, but are not limited to cable reach, cable bundling parameters
(tightness, frequency, number of cables, speed with respect to each cable) and cable termination quality.
The 802.3 channel requirements for interoperability typically limit the cable reach to 100 m, but other factors
can shorten this reach. In addition, for both UPOE and HPOE and data integrity, the 100 m total should not
include more than 10 m total stranded or patch cable. Therefore, it is assumed that a 100 m link includes a
maximum of two 5 m patch cables of the appropriate category, and 90 m of plenum or riser (i.e. solid copper
core) cables. Ensure that you follow the TIA guidance on cable dressing.
It is recommended to test the complete link using an appropriate cable tester for 10 Gbps as well as 5 Gbps
links. However, even if the link passes cable testing, it is still prone to occasional errors due to aggressors in
the bundle, and physical disturbances of the cables. As an example of bundling limitations, for 5 Gbps with
cat5e cable, only a total 45 m bundled length is supported; the remaining 55 m should be unbundled. For
bundling, follow Cisco Guidelines and Best Practices for the Installation and Maintenance of Data Networking
Equipment which recommends the use of Velcro ties every 1 to 2 m for bundled sections.
If you are upgrading the network gear but reusing the existing cable plant, note that at speeds above 2.5 Gbps
traditional Cat5e channel specifications do not support full 100 m reach. To ensure 5 Gbps link speeds, we
recommend using Cat6a cabling. For more information, see the Whitepaper from NBASE-T alliance, which
has now merged with Ethernet Alliance, archived at
https://archive.nbaset.ethernetalliance.org/library/white-paper-2/.
Multigigabit ports do not support half duplex mode. Use full duplex mode.
Note
Management Ports
The management ports connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server.
• Ethernet management port. See Ethernet Management Port, on page 12.
• RJ-45 console port (EIA/TIA-232). See RJ-45 Console Port, on page 13.
• USB mini-Type B console port (5-pin connector).
The 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-through
cable. The RJ-45 console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. The USB console
port connection uses a USB Type A to 5-pin mini-Type B cable. The USB console interface speeds are the
same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.
If you use the USB mini-Type B console port, the Cisco Windows USB device driver must be installed on
any PC connected to the console port (for operation with Microsoft Windows). Mac OS X or Linux do not
require special drivers.
The 4-pin mini-Type B connector resembles the 5-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible. Use
only the 5-pin mini-Type B.

Product Overview
Multigigabit Ethernet Ports

Figure 3: USB Mini-Type B Port
This illustration shows a 5-pin mini-Type B USB port.
With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, you can connect and disconnect the USB cable from the console
port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations.
The console output always goes to both the RJ-45 and the USB console connectors, but the console input is
active on only one of the console connectors at any one time. The USB console takes precedence over the
RJ-45 console. When a cable is connected into the USB console port, the RJ-45 console port becomes inactive.
Conversely, when the USB cable is disconnected from the USB console port, the RJ-45 port becomes active.
You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to configure an inactivity timeout which reactivates the RJ-45
console if the USB console has been activated and no input activity has occurred on the USB console for a
specified time.
After the USB console deactivates due to inactivity, you cannot use the CLI to reactivate it. Disconnect and
reconnect the USB cable to reactivate the USB console. For information on using the CLI to configure the
USB console interface, see the Software Configuration Guide.
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. When combined with stacking, you can
upgrade other switches in the stack from an USB key inserted in any switch within the stack. 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.
Uplink Ports
The Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches support both fixed uplinks and modular uplinks. The C9200 switch
models support modular uplinks with one hot-swappable network module that provides uplink ports to connect
to other devices.
The fixed uplink ports on C9200L switch models support the following types of transceiver modules.
• 4x1G ports that support 1G SFP modules.
• 4x10G ports that support either 1G SFP or 10G SFP+ modules.
• 2x25G ports that support SFP28 modules.

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.
StackWise Ports
StackWise ports are used to connect switches in StackWise stacking configurations. The switch ships with a
0.5-meter StackWise cable that you can use to connect the StackWise ports. For more information on StackWise
cables, see Connecting to the StackWise Ports, on page 29.
Use only approved cables, and connect only to similar Cisco equipment. Equipment might be damaged if
connected to nonapproved Cisco cables or equipment.
Caution
Power Supply Modules
The switch has a field replaceable main AC power supply module and a redundant hot-swappable field
replaceable AC power supply module. The switch is powered through one or two internal power supply
modules. In switches with PoE capability, the redundant power supply can also be used for extra PoE power.
Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Product Overview
RFID Tag

Following are the power supply modules supported on Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches:
• PWR-C5-125WAC
• PWR-C5-600WAC
• PWR-C5-1KWAC
• PWR-C6-125WAC
• PWR-C6-600WAC
• PWR-C6-1KWAC
The switch has two internal power supply module slots. You can use two AC power supply modules or one
power supply module and a blank module (PWR-C5-BLANK).
The switch can operate with either one or two active power supply modules.
Switch Models, on page 1 shows the default power supply modules that ship with each switch model. All
power supply modules (except the blank modules) have internal fans. All switches ship with a blank power
supply module in the second power supply slot. Each AC power supply module has a power cord
(CAB-TA-XXX) for connection to an AC power outlet.
Do not operate the switch with one power supply module slot empty. For proper chassis cooling, both power
supply module slots must be populated with either a power supply or a blank module.
Caution
The power supply modules are autoranging units that support input voltages between 100 and 240 VAC. The
output voltage range is 12 to 12.5 V for 125W power supply and 54 to 56 V for 600W and 1000W power
supplies.
All the PoE-enabled switches when installed with both the power supplies support full PoE+; 1440W on a
48-port switch and 740W on a 24-port switch.
The partial PoE-enabled switches support only 600W power supply providing a PoE budget of 370W. If the
switch is installed with one power supply, the available POE budget is 370W and 740W, if there are two
power supplies installed.
The following tables show the PoE available and PoE requirements for PoE switch models.

Fan Modules
The Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches supports two internal fixed 12-V fan modules and two field-replaceable
fan modules (C9200-FAN=). The C9200 models support modular fans whereas the C9200L models provide
two internal fixed fans.
For information about the type of fan module supported on different switch models, see Switch Models, on
page 1.
The air circulation system consists of the fan modules and the power supply modules. The airflow patterns
vary depending on the power supply configuration. The switch can operate at ambient temperature if one of
the fans fail.
