Signal/Pin Assignments
The 6-wire RJ-11 and 8-wire RJ-45 jack options for the Model
1012B are prewired for a standard TELCO wiring environment. Use the
guide below when ordering or constructing twisted pair cables.

Crossover Cable Construction
Connection of a 4-wire twisted pair circuit between two or more
Model 1012Bs requires a
crossover cable
as shown in the figures on
the following page.

3. Connect
one pair
of wires to XMT+ and XMT- (transmit positive
and negative) on the terminal block, making careful note of
which color is positive, and which color is negative.
4. Connect the
other pair
of wires to RCV+ and RCV- (receive
positive and negative) on the terminal block, again making
careful note of which color is positive, and which color is
negative. Your completed crossover cable should be pinned
electrically as shown below:
5. When you finish connecting the wires to the terminal block, the
assembly should resemble the diagram Figure 6 below.
The Model 1012B is now installed.
4.1.2 MODULAR TWISTED PAIR CONNECTION
The Model 1012B offers two interface options for twisted pair
connection: RJ-11 (6-wire) jack and RJ-45 (8-wire) jack. Pages 9 and
10 show signal/pin assignments for the jacks, as well as pin-outs for the
appropriate twisted pair cable topologies.
