3.2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
All NX series platforms have (2) RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports and (1) expansion module kit (optional). The
NX-4524 and NX-6524 models also have (24) RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet switch ports. Motorola Solutions
recommends using Category 6 Ethernet cable for connections to the RJ-45 ports.
