Cables and Pinouts
The compact serial cable for the PA-8T-V.35 is available in DTE or DCE mode with a 200-pin, D-shell
receptacle at the router end and eight, 34-pin Winchester block-type receptacles or plugs at the network
end. (See Figure 1-3.) The compact serial cable for the PA-8T-V.35 is 6 feet (1.8 meters) long.
Note The V.35 compact serial cable attached to the single PA-8T-V.35 port determines the mode (DTE or
DCE) of the eight PA-8T-V.35 interfaces.
Following are the product numbers, according to mode, for the PA-8T-V.35 compact serial cable:
• DTE mode with a 34-pin, Winchester-type V.35 plug (CAB-OCT-V.35-MT[=])
• DCE mode with a 34-pin, Winchester-type V.35 receptacle (CAB-OCT-V.35-FC[=])
Figure 1-3 V.35 Compact Serial Cable
Because the PA-8T-V.35 uses a special, high-density port that requires special compact serial interface
cables, we recommend that you obtain the cables from Cisco Systems. Figure 1-4 on page 1-5 shows the
connectors at the network end of the PA-8T-V.35 compact serial cable.
Amber On One of these conditions applies:
• Port is in loopback mode
• Compact serial is not properly connected at
the router or network end
• Hardware problem at the network end of the
