Adapter Connection

 

 

Figure 4.1.3A - Serial Interface Connection 

 

The connector is configured as a 

DTE 

(Data Terminal Equipment). It is recommended that the cable length 

be 50 feet or less to reduce the possibility of errors from signal distortion. Also, the connectors should be 
secured with the proper screws to enable reliable operation. All necessary serial cables should be double 
shielded where appropriate.  
 
If the unit is connected to a terminal or computer, a 

Null Modem

 cable is required. This null modem cable is 

available from EXFO and should be ordered with the CableSHARK.  Null modem cables are available in 
various configurations. The configuration on Figure 4.1.3A above gives the pin arrangement of a typical null 
modem cable. 
 

4.1.4  The Ethernet 10BaseT Connection 

 

The Ethernet 10BaseT port is used to connect the CableSHARK to a PC terminal via a LAN or the Internet. 
The connector for this is a female RJ-45 connector on the rear panel of the CableSHARK. When connecting 
to your equipment, a crossover cable or straight cable can be used (defined below) depending upon the 
network infrastructure. The Ethernet interface is compatible with the TIA/EIA T568A and TIA/EIA T568B 
specifications. The pin assignments for this are as follows:
