CES T1	Category 5 twisted-pair and FTP	820 feet (248.5 m)
CES E1	Category 5 twisted-pair and FTP (120-ohm)	820 feet (248.5 m)
CES E1	Coaxial cable (75-ohm)	650 feet (198 m)
DS3, 45-Mbps	Coaxial cable	450 feet (137 m)
E3, 34-Mbps	Coaxial cable	450 feet (137 m)
CDS3, 45-Mbps	Coaxial cable	450 feet (137 m)

1If attaching a short cable to the 622-Mbps long-reach port adapter, you must add 10 dB of attenuation to the cable or the transmitter might overdrive the receiver and introduce data errors.

Pinouts to RJ-45 Connectors

The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface module with unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) ports supports RJ-45 connectors. Table 2 lists the signals for RJ-45 cable connectors.

Table 2 RJ-45 Connector Pinouts

Pin	Signal	Description
1	RxD+	Receive data +
2	RxD-	Receive data -
3	NC	No connection
4	NC	No connection
5	NC	No connection
6	NC	No connection
7	TxD+	Transmit data +
8	TxD-	Transmit data -

Pinouts to RJ-48c Connectors

The T1, E1, CES T1 and E1 port adapters support RJ-48c connectors. Table 3 lists the signals for RJ-48c connectors.
