T1/E1 Cable Connectors
Figure 87: T1/E1 Cable Connector
One end of the cable (see the figure above) has a 68-pin connector that plugs into the T1/E1 interface module
and the other end of the cable with a 68-pin connector is connected to a RJ48, AMP64 or a DIN patch panel.
Use the thumbscrews on either side of the connector to secure the cable to the interface.
For information about the pinout of the cable connecting the T1/E1 interface to the rear of the patch panel,
see
Patch Panel Cabling for Redundancy
You can connect the patch panels with the interface modules for redundancy, using the Y-cables. The Y-cable
stub lengths are reduced, so that the cable does not exceed from the rack spacer. The Y-cables are numbered
based on the different stub length. Cable lengths differ for even numbered and odd numbered slots in the
chassis.
