Brad, you are right on this. I was in the network cabling business for years and it is not 568A or B. And as point of fact, there is no 568-B2 pin out. 568 B2 refers to the system of "category" rankings of the twisted pair cable itself.
So, as you note, the pin out is some standard I am not familiar with either. Such is the risks of having corporate headquarters in Israel -- an accepted standard there may not be in use here.

I've searched for a minute or two, but so far everything comes up with the oranges and greens in the 1,2,3 and 6 pin locations. Even if there is a 568-B2 color code why use that color code when the rest of the world uses basic 568-A or 568-B? I think you know as well as I do the design of the weatherproof boot was an oversight. The design team simply took the dimension of a standard RJ45 plug and used that for their ID of the weather seal design. The oversight was the corners of the RJ45 plug are obviously beyond the ID rendering the connector unable to pass through. <grin> No, I don't think anyone is going to bite off that a weather seal with a 1mm larger ID is going to jeopardize the effectiveness of the seal. Pathetic attempt to cover a purely obvious design oversight...lol Merry Christmas!

We pre-terminate the cable in an effort to speed the installation process. The design of the weatherproof boot is intentional to provide an impervious seal from the elements. Having installed more of these radios than I can count in previous roles, I admit learning another color code can be daunting. But it is only eight conductors. When done properly it tests the same as any other straight cable. Happy Holidays!

Oh, and pre-terminated due to the fact that the RJ45 connector doesn't fit through the weather seal! Just about a millimeter too small! When are you guys going to start using the standard 568A or 568B pin color code and enlarge that weather seal so a RJ45 connector fits through it? Best, Brad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Leary Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 10:31 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: RE: [WISPA] Alvarion Comnet Radios have arrived Thanks for the validation Marty. I suspect that some might have thought there was a catch. I almost forgot that the cable was pre-terminated. That's one of the things we don't highlight enough -- VL CPE does not require hidden extra things to buy like power supplies, cable, connectors, mounting kits, and certainly not antennas. So what's the impact overall to you business model under the AlvarionCOMNET program?

We have deployed a LOT of these radios already and I can tell you this is a great price. I'm looking forward to Alvarion extending this program to other products. (Patrick...)
