Cable Specifications C-5
Serial Cable Assemblies and Pinouts
EIA/TIA-232
Figure C-2 shows the EIA/TIA-232 cable assembly; Table C-4 lists the DTE pinout; and
Table C-5 lists the DCE pinout. Arrows indicate signal direction: —> indicates DTE to
DCE, and <— indicates DCE to DTE.
1. Any pin not referenced is not connected.
2. The EIA-530 interface cannot be operated in DCE mode. A DCE cable is not
available for the EIA-530 interface.
