• Category 3/5/5e/6 for 10-Mbps cables with 4 pairs
• Category 5/5e/6 for 100-Mbps cables with 4 pairs
• Category 5e/6 for 1000-Mbps cables with 4 pairs
Note Cables have 4 pairs of wires for a total of 8
conductors.

For Cisco Unified IP Phone 7971G-GE and 7970G:

• Category 3/5/5e for 10-Mbps cables with 4 pairs
• Category 5/5e for 100-Mbps cables with 4 pairs
• Category 5e/6 for 1000-Mbps cables with 4 pairs
Note Cables have 4 pairs of wires for a total of 8
conductors.

Distance requirements As supported by the Ethernet specification, it is assumed that the maximum
cable length between each Cisco Unified IP Phone and the switch is 100
meters (330 feet).

Network and Access Port Pinouts

Although both the network and access ports are used for network connectivity, they serve different purposes
and have different port pinouts. The access port is also known as the computer port.

Network Port Connector

Phone Behavior During Times of Network Congestion

Anything that degrades network performance can affect phone voice and video quality, and in some cases,
can cause a call to drop. Sources of network degradation can include, but are not limited to, the following
activities:
• Administrative tasks, such as an internal port scan or security scan
• Attacks that occur on your network, such as a Denial of Service attack
