RJ-21 Connector 
The RJ-21 connectors (shown in Figure A-14) are used on telco modules. Each RJ-21 connector has pins 
for 12 ports.
NoteThe RJ-21 connector for the WS-X6624-FXS module has pins for 24 ports. See the “RJ-21 Connector 
(WS-X6624-FXS Only)” section on page A-27.
To connect to 10/100BASE-TX RJ-21 telco interfaces, use Category 5 UTP...

CautionCategory 5e and Category 6 cables can store large levels of static electricity because of the dielectric 
properties of the materials used in their construction. Always ground the cables (especially in new cable 
runs) to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the module.

MT-RJ Connector
The MT-RJ connector is a small form-factor fiber-optic connector used to connect modules to a SMF or 
MMF optical network. (See Figure A-16.) The small size of the MT-RJ connector, as compared with the 
SC connector, allows for a greater port density on the modules. The MT-RJ connector is a two-fiber 
connector (transmit and...

NotePower over Ethernet (PoE), uses pairs 2 and 3 (pins 1, 2, 3, and 6) in a four-pair UTP cable to transmit 
power from the switch to a powered device. This method of supplying power is sometimes called 
“phantom power” because the PoE power travels over the same pairs of wires used to transmit...
