Installation manual
COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier
B-6 March 2001 3000-A2-GA31-F0
The async terminal connection uses the:
• COM port-to-terminal/printer cable. This cable is a
14-foot, 26 AWG 8-conductor cable with an
8-position modular plug keyed connector and a
DB25 plug connector (see Figure B-7).
• COM port adapter connector with an 8-position
keyed modular jack (see Table B-4). The data
signals on this port are referenced to a DTE
interface.

Port Interfaces
The port interface connectors (T1 DSU/CSU only)
include the EIA-530-A DB25 connector. The V.35
connector and the RS-449 connector require an adapter
cable.
