The switches have different cabling options that you use to connect to the
RPS 2300. The RPS 2300 uses these connector cables:
RPS cable for the Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E switches
•
(CAB-RPS-2300-E=): 22-pin connector on one end and 22-pin connector on
the other end.
RPS cable (CAB-RPS-2300=): 22-pin connector on one end and 14-pin
•
connector on the other end. Use this cable to connect the RPS 2300 to all
other supported Cisco devices.
For a complete list of products that the RPS 2300 supports, see the Cisco
Redundant Power System 2300 Compatibility Matrix available on Cisco.com.
Use only the approved cables (CAB-RPS-2300-E-= or CAB-RPS-2300=), and
connect only to Cisco equipment. Equipment might be damaged if connected to
nonapproved Cisco cables or equipment.
For more information about the RPS cables, see
Cable Specifications."
The switch connected to the RPS 2300 might restart when it changes from RPS
power to its internal power. We recommend that you first divert switch traffic to
an alternate switch to avoid data loss. This does not occur on the Catalyst 3750-E
or Catalyst 3560-E switches.
