§ Cisco® UPOE-powered PoE pass-through (new SKU)

§ DC power adapter with additive PoE

§ Perpetual PoE

NBASE-T Multi-Gigabit Ethernet (mGig)

Why NBASE-T? Seeing real network challenges:

• Increasing 802.11 radio rates • Massive installed base of Cat 5e/6 cables

Maintain Switch to AP Reach at Higher Speeds Adaptive Rate Technology (FE, 1G, 2.5/5G) à Future proofed for higher speeds

Standards Compliant 1G and 10G BaseT IEEE standards, intermediate speeds WIP

Infrastructure Investment Protection Support with existing cable infrastructure Supports Cat6a cabling for Greenfield deployments

Introducing NBASE-T (aka mGig) • mGig Phys are different than 1Gig Phys

• mGig ports are capable of the following

speeds • 100M/1Gig/2.5Gig/5Gig/10Gig • No 10M on mGig phys

• 2.5 Gig & 5 Gig are not standard yet

• The Non-mGig ports are the same as

previous line cards/products

• PoE-Support

• Auto-negotiation of cable type of speeds supported • Brownfield deployments can leverage existing Cat5e extending ROI and support mGig at 2.5G

and 5G speeds at a distance of 100m • Greenfield deployments with Cat6a will support 10G but can also now support mGig at 2.5G and

5G speeds at a distance of 100m * Under validation

The NEW Cisco Catalyst Multigigabit Product Family

• NG Workspace switch • Multigigabit in smallest form factor • POE/POE+ • Instant Access support

• Industry leading Fixed Access • 24 & 48 Port Stackable Switches • 24 & 12 Multigigabit Ports

• Best In Class Modular Access • New 48 Ports Line Card • 12 Ports of Multigigabit per slot • Up to 96 multigigabit ports per system
