DEConnect RJ-45 Cables
Figure B-6 shows the DEConnect-compatible cables available from Xyplex and shows how the cables are
wired. The Male RJ-45 connector is attached to the server. The MMJ connector attaches to the
DEConnect-compatible device (DTE). The cable is a crossover cable that uses the six inner pins of the
server port and makes the signals available at the MMJ connector. The cable is constructed using
standard six-wire cable.

Note
If you have existing DEConnect cables that you want to use with the
MAXserver 1600/1608, the one-foot straight through cable and the RJ-45 to
MMJ adaptor or modular adaptor allow you to use these cables without making
any changes. You can also use the male RJ-45 to female MMJ adaptor.
