It depends. What interface does the CSU/DSU have on the Telco (they say "network" side)? Most CSU/DSUs have an RJ-45/48 jack. Some like Larscom have a DB-15 connector. Yes - you can buy adapters to make it an RJ-45. Not fun to learn on a Sat AM. How long will the cable be between the CSU/DSU and the SmartJack? If a short distance, then Cat5 will do. Pins 1&2 and 4&5 straight. Some cable vendors sell a shielded cable (T-shield?)(Think that it is two pair.) to protect the cable from electrical fields. Ground the shield at one end. There are other larger shielded cables used to run multiple T-1s in one bundle. These are preferred for longer runs.
