Connecting the RJ-45 Line Interface
Do the following to connect the
Line
interface.
1.
To function properly, the two CL1101s must be connected together using twisted-pair, unconditioned,
dry, metal wire, between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through signal
equalization equipment are not acceptable.
2.
The CL1101 is equipped with an RJ-45 interface jack (see
Figure 7. RJ-45 pin-out
3.
The RJ-45 connector on the CL1101’s twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive, and is wired for two,
four, six or eight wires—pin-out to TIA/EIA T568A/B (see
Note
