Connecting T1/E1 Cables
The figure below shows how the cable is connected between the T1/E1 interface module and the patch panel.

T1/E1 Port
RJ45 Cable Pinouts
T1 lines from individual subscribers are attached to RJ45 connectors on the front of the 24-port patch panel.
Each RJ45 port accommodates an individual T1 subscriber line.

Connecting Cables to the Patch Panel
If you are connecting two T1/E1 interfaces to each other, you must cable both interfaces' patch panels together
using a T1 crossover cable or a T1 straight-through cable. Use shielded cables. The type of cable you use
(crossover or straight-through) depends on how the T1/E1 interfaces are cabled to their patch panels:
• If both the T1/E1 interfaces are connected to their patch panels in the same manner (TX to Transmit and
RX to Receive, or TX to Receive and RX to Transmit), use a T1 crossover cable to connect the patch
panels.
• If both the T1/E1 interfaces are connected to their patch panels in a different configuration (TX to
Transmit and RX to Receive on one interface, and TX to Receive and RX to Transmit on the other
interface), use a T1 straight-through cable (standard RJ45 patch cable) to connect the patch panels.
