Appendix A
Connectors and Cables
This appendix describes the cables and connectors necessary for the
connections shown in Figures 3-1 and 3-5.
A.1 Main Ring Cables
Because you can purchase MAUs with either RJ45 or DC
connectors, two configurations are possible.
RJ45 Connectors
Figure A-1 shows the RI/RO cables that appear in the RJ45 setup
shown in Figure 3-1. These cables have pin-to-pin connector wiring
using RJ45 connectors. The cable must have two twisted pairs. A
crimping tool makes the connections to RJ45s.
