Cables and Connectors
This appendix lists cables that have been tested and verified for use with the
HP ProCurve 10Base-T Hubs. The following topics are covered:
■
overview
■
twisted pair cable/connector pinouts
■
RS-232 connector and cable pinouts
It also includes minimum pin-out information so, if you wish to use an unlisted
cable, you can verify that the cables used in your installation are correctly
wired. Note that each pin-out does not necessarily match the pin-out for the
corresponding HP cable, but cables manufactured to follow the minimum pin-
out will function correctly.
Straight-Through Twisted-Pair Cable for Hub-to-Computer
Network Connection
To connect PCs or other network devices to the hub, use a “straight-through”
10Base-T cable. The twisted-pair wires must be twisted through the entire
length of the cable. The wiring sequence must conform to AT&T 258A (not
USOC). See the Twisted-Pair Cable Pin Assignments section at the end of this
chapter for a listing of the signals used on each pin.
