Connecting the Line Interface
Follow the steps below to connect the CL2300 interfaces.
1.
To function properly, the two CL2300s 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 Ethernet Extender is equipped with an RJ-45 interface jack ( Line ), which conforms to the T568B
standard. As such, any standard Category 5e cable can be used to directly connect two extenders. Depend-
ing on the extender model, it will have a two-wire, four-wire or eight-wire interface
Observe the signal/pin relationship on the CL2300’s Line interface jack for each pair in figure 5 .

Figure 6 shows the proper way to wire a cable with an RJ-45 jack on one end and four RJ-11jacks on the other
(see figure 7 on page 23).
