Can't anyone stop self-promotion and tell the poor guy what he needs. A T1/E1 X-over cable using an RJ-45 (8-cond.) is pinned out as follows:
1 - 4 2 - 5 3 - NU 4 - 1 5 - 2 6 - NU 7 - NU 8 - NU NU = Not Used I have not in my experience seen any problems with using a Good Quality Cat5 vs. Cat 3 (telco standard) cable for X-connects. YMMV, but you should be fine. As far as the shielding goes, I use UTP cables and Connectors all the time and some of my X-connects run over 100 feet. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Totaro Sent: Saturday, April 22, 2006 11:49 AM To: Paul Mahler; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] what cable to connect a legacy PBX to a TE410P ?

A T carrier cable is not the same as an ethernet cable. A T carrier cable uses a real metal shielded RJ-45 and loosely twisted pair wire. With most modern T carrier equipment, you can use a CAT-5 ethernet cable instead of a real T carrier cable. A T-carrier crossover cable does not have the same wiring pattern as a crossover ethernet cable. With an older piece of equipment like the Matra, I would be tempted to purchase a real T carrier crossover cable. This is covered in my book, by the way. >Louis-David Mitterrand wrote: >Hello, > >I am about to put an asterisk server between the telco E1 and our old Matra PBX. >Should I use an ethernet cross cable?
