Description
Differences Between
CAB-AC is a type of power cord used by Cisco devices to connect to an AC power source. There are different versions of CAB-AC cords available depending on the region or country where they will be used. For example, CAB-AC-RA is a cord designed for North American power outlets that have the ground pin oriented downward (reversed), while CAB-AC-UK is designed for use in the United Kingdom with a British 3-pin plug.
The Cisco 110 V AC power cord is a specific type of power cord designed to provide power to Cisco devices that operate on a 110-volt power supply. It is important to note that not all Cisco devices require a 110 V AC power cord, as some devices may operate on a different voltage.
The 3750 Series is a line of switches manufactured by Cisco that provide high-performance, scalable Ethernet switching solutions for enterprise networks. The power cord used for the 3750 Series switch will depend on the specific model and the region or country where it will be used.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
The CAB-AC-RA is a power cord used for Cisco 3750 series switches that allows them to connect to a power source. Here are some common issues that can arise with this power cord and how to troubleshoot them:
- No power: If the switch is not powering on, check to see if the power cord is securely plugged in at both ends. Also, check if the power outlet is functioning properly by plugging in another device. If the outlet is working and the power cord is plugged in securely, try using a different power cord to see if the issue is with the original cord.
- Overheating: If the power cord or switch is overheating, ensure that the power cord is not tangled or wrapped around the switch. This can cause the cord to overheat and potentially cause a fire hazard. Also, make sure that the switch is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.
- Damage to the cord: If the cord is damaged or frayed, it should be replaced immediately to avoid electrical hazards. Do not attempt to repair the cord yourself, as this can be dangerous.
- Voltage issues: If the switch is not receiving the correct voltage, check the power source to ensure that it is providing the correct voltage. The Cisco 3750 series switches require 110-240 V AC voltage. If the voltage is incorrect, the switch may not function properly or may be damaged.
- Incompatibility: Ensure that the power cord being used is the correct model for the switch. Using an incorrect power cord can cause the switch to malfunction or not power on at all.
Performance Metrics
The CAB-AC-RA is a power cord designed for use with Cisco 3750 Series switches. Performance metrics refer to the characteristics and specifications that determine how well the power cord performs its function of providing power to the switch. The following are some performance metrics of the CAB-AC-RA Cisco 110 V AC 3750 Series Power Cord:
- Voltage Rating: The CAB-AC-RA power cord is designed to operate with 110 volts of AC power. This voltage rating ensures that the power cord can provide the necessary power to the switch to enable it to function properly.
- Amperage Rating: The power cord has an amperage rating of 8 amps. This rating indicates the maximum amount of current that the cord can safely carry without overheating or causing damage to the switch.
- Cable Length: The CAB-AC-RA power cord has a length of 8 feet. This length is sufficient for connecting the switch to a power source that is located within a reasonable distance.
- Connector Type: The power cord has a right-angle connector on one end that is designed to fit into the power supply unit of the Cisco 3750 Series switch. The other end of the cord has a standard three-prong plug that can be inserted into a power outlet.
- Compatibility: The CAB-AC-RA power cord is specifically designed for use with Cisco 3750 Series switches. It is not recommended for use with other devices as it may not be compatible with their power requirements.
