The Catalyst Switch Module 3110G and 3012 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors
with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and
1000BASE-T traffic requires Category
5, Category 5e, or Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 UTP cable.
