Channelized T1 Pinouts
For the CT1, two standard T1 serial cables are available from Cisco Systems: null-modem
and straight-through. A straight-through cable connects your router to an external CSU.
Null-modem cables are used for back-to-back operation and testing.
The cables have male 15-pin DB connectors at each end to connect the CT1with the
external CSU.
The T1 interface cable has two 15-pin DB connectors at each end to connect the CT1with
the external T1 CSU. Figure A-21 shows the T1 interface cable, connectors and pinouts.
The T1 interface cables have two, male, 15-pin DB connectors (one at each end) to connect
the CT1 with the external CSU. Table A-36 lists the pinouts for the null-modem T1 cable
and Table A-37 lists the pinouts for the straight-through T1 cable.
