Need Adapter: Cisco 3560 Switch SFP 10 GB port to 10 GB RJ45 Laptop port

[jencisco001]

Hi Cisco Community

I have a Cisco 3560 Switch with SFP 10 GB port that I need to connect to a 10 GB RJ45 Laptop. Do you know what kind of adapter will work with this connection?

Much appreciated,

Jen

Hi Jen

What is the part number for the switch?

See the link below for a possibility:

You would need to insert this optic into your 3650 switch and make copper to copper connection, but not sure if your switch supports this optic. See the second link for the compatibility matrix.

Hi Reza

The Model of Switch: :WS-C3560CX-8PC-S

It looks like your part on Amazon might work.

I don't know the part number from Cisco.

Thanks

Hi Jen,

The WS-C3560CX-8PC-S switch does not support 10Gig interface. All copper and fiber ports are 1Gig. So, if you want to use the SFP port, you can use this part:

"GCL-TE" This is 10/100/1000 copper port that can be inserted into the SFP port.

for more info, see the link below:

If 10 copper is not compatible with your switch, here is a second option:
