However, if you implement your company's wire color-coding scheme, ensure that the wires
are paired and twisted according to pin functions listed in the table above (e.g. Rx+ with Rx-
).
• The maximum CAT 5 cable length for ODU/IDU connectivity is 100 meters.
To connect the ProST to the SDA-1:
1. Attach the DB15 side of the DB15-to-RJ45 adapter to the ProST's 15-pin D-type port
(female), labeled DATA & PWR.
2. Plug the RJ-45 connector of the Category 5 Ethernet cable (not supplied) into the RJ-45
port of the DB15-to-RJ45 adapter.
3. Plug the RJ-45 connector, at the other end of the Category 5 Ethernet cable, into the SDA-
1's RJ-45 port labeled RADIO.
Using the SDA-4S Type II or SDA-4S/VL Type II
The SDA-4S Type II or SDA-4S/VL Type II adapters (referred hereafter as SDA-4S) provide one
15-pin D-type female port for interfacing with the ProST (which also provides a 15-pin D-type
female port).
The ODU-to-IDU connectivity implements a CAT 5 cable with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors at either
end. However, for allowing the use of RJ-45 connectors, your ProST kit includes two DB15-to-
RJ45 adapters that can easily be attached to the 15-pin D-type ports of the ProST and SDA-4S.
The cable setup for ProST to SDA-4S connectivity is as follows:
