I was once told by a lineman that the cables they use didn't have that many twists in them because it wasn't needed, and that the extra twists would effectively use more cable and thus cost and weigh more than triple what they do now. He told me that with the number of twists in the Cat 5 cable it would cancel out any interference, but he also stated that the effective length was

My telco used cat5 as well for the demarc to CPE. It's also with noting that many channel banks, such as my Atlas, and zapata.conf itself also have parameters to allow you to tune the gains to compensate for cable signal loss. I've never had to touch them, and my CPE is about 300 feet from the PRI demarc (with an ordinary Cat5 cable connecting them)

I have used cross-connect wire from the spool to make T1 crossover cables with RJ45 ends. All that matters is that pin one goes to four and two goes to five on both ends. ________________________________ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com on behalf of Andrew Sent: Sat 4/22/2006 2:51 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: Pinouts for T1/E1

Can't anyone stop self-promotion and tell the poor guy what he needs. A T1/E1 X-over cable using an RJ-45 (8-cond.) is pinned out as follows: 1 - 4 2 - 5 3 - NU 4 - 1 5 - 2 6 - NU 7 - NU 8 - NU NU = Not Used I have not in my experience seen any problems with using a Good Quality Cat5 vs. Cat 3 (telco standard) cable for X-connects. YMMV, but you should be fine. As far as the shielding

I agree. I haven't had a problem using CAT-5, even for long runs, however it's not a real T-Carrier cable and I didn't know how old the PBX is.

I for one think it is a great idea to buy a book with hard earned money and wait a few days to a week just to get an answer to a question that is freely available on the internet immediately. Hard pressed to think of anything in the "book" that is not on with wiki with more up to date and useful information. -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Lopez

At Sangoma we do quite a lot of back-to back T1 and E1 connections. T1 is not a very fussy connection, as the baud rate is only about 750 kbps. In our experience, for error free communications you can use the following rules of thumb: Up to 50 ft: Flat patch cable Up to 500 ft: Ordinary twisted telephone cable Cat 5 may be overkill unless you are going hundreds of feet.

The "telco guys" probably did something non-industry standard and reversed send and receive in the jack that they plugged the CAT5 into. Sure it works, sure it is easier, sure it is not the correct way of doing things.

Hi, Digium's E400P has RJ45 conector and my E1 link has BNC concetor. Could someone tell me the cable pinouts to make this conection? thanks Eduardo

Hello all, I have obtained a Compaq T700 H UPS sans-cable. My research indicates it would've come with a HP #201092-001 cable, and from previous posts on this list, it speaks upscode2, possibly being a rebadged Eaton unit. Any suggestions for cable pinouts I can try? Regards, Mathew McBride

Hi there! I just recently got a nice new UPS to power most of my computer equipment, and having it working perfectly under NUT. However, I had a perfectly good Powercom Black Night 600AP UPS, which I'm now trying to get to power my internet gateway. Unfortuantly, due to not thinking on my part, I threw away the original serial cable. I have tried a straight - through cable, and the one

Hi, I just got a T1 interface for a AT&T (became Lucent) System75 (uses same cards as Definity). I would take a crack at making a cable but can't determine the pinout for a cable and it is not apparent from the board. Asking you guys makes sense as one of you may have one of these systems. The cable has a amphenol male D50 connector on one end and probably a rj45 on the other. I also

Hi, this is probably a stupid question but can someone point me to where I can find the pinouts for the connector at the back of the TDM2400P card from Digium. I am assuming this is some kind of telecomms standard but I need to connect to 8 existing analogue lines and therefor need to wire this connector to a patch panel or R11 jacks. Also most of the docs do not mention this card - am I

Just cross pairs 1-2 and 4-5 1 <--> 4 2 <--> 5 Never done an E1, but I think it's the same for a T1 4 wire cable.
