A while ago i bought a Used Cisco Caytalist XL 3500 48 port switch online, so i could learn the language of the switch and know how to program them if i ever needed to. Well i got an adapter with it 1000base that goes into a slot in the switch, my question is does that change the entire switches ports from 100base to 1000base?

A fiber optic connector. With this adaptor you can connect to a fiber network.
The adaptor does not change the other ports.

There is a gap between "cisco." and "com", you will need to copy this into Word and then close (delete) the space between the two. This will give you a link in Word and all you need to do is just click on it.

Since the limit for copper is upto 100base on your device, the 1000base is for a fiber network and yes you have a RJ45 port but this is used from the device to the wall socket, from the wall socket you should have (or subscribed to) a fiber connection. This will give you the speed for the adaptor.
