1.6 Q-DL-2100 Electrical Connections: Back Panel
RJ45 modular 8 pin, 8 conductor Jacks are located on the Back Panel for the Analog Out,
Analog In, and Digital I/O subsystems as well as the Sensors, Relays, and RS-232 interface
connectors. Standard ethernet patch cable with an RJ45 modular 8 pin, 8 conductor Plug
may be used. The cable jacket and individual wire insulation may be easily stripped at the
other end to facilitate connections to other equipment. As many different grades of ethernet
cable are available, it is recommended that good solid conductor ethernet cable is utilized for
reliability in the field. The solid conductor cable is also easier to strip than the stranded
conductor type.
Patch cable with EIA/TIA 568A and EIA/TIA 568B type connections are available. The more
commonly available today is patch cable made with EIA/TIA 568B type connections. For the
userʼs convenience, diagrams for each of these standards is included below as well as the
pin positions for the RJ45 plug.
