Chapter 3 Installing the Cisco 7204
Connecting I/O Controller Cables
Note
Referring to the RJ-45 pinout in
Figure 3-17
, proper common-mode line terminations should be used for
the unused Category 5, UTP cable pairs 4/5 and 7/8. Common-mode termination reduces
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Depending on your I/O controller RJ-45 interface cabling requirements, use the pinouts shown in
Figure 3-17
and
Figure 3-18
for straight-through and crossover twisted-pair cable connections.

Figure 3-18 Crossover Cable Pinout, I/O Controller RJ-45 Connection to an End Station or DTE
To identify the RJ-45 cable type, hold the two ends of the cable next to each other so you can see the
colored wires inside the ends, as shown in
Figure 3-19
.
