Wiring Specifications

This appendix lists the pinouts and wiring specifications for the EIA/TIA-232 admin. port, CDDI UTP, 10BaseT, SUM port, and the optical bypass switch.

Admin. Port Pinout

Table A-1 and Table A-2 list the pinouts for the EIA/TIA-232 admin. port.

CDDI UTP Pinout

Following are pinouts and cabling requirements for CDDI UTP wiring.
Table A-3 lists the pinout used for the CDDI/MLT-3 A/B port card transmit and receive pairs.

Table A-3: CDDI/MLT-3 Pinout

Pin	Signal	Pin	Signal
1	TX+	5	-
2	TX-	6	-
3	-	7	RX+
4	-	8	RX-

You must use modular, cross-connect cables in the following configurations:

From a workstation CDDI port to a CDDI-FDDI translator
From a CDDI A port to a CDDI B port
From a CDDI A or B port to a CDDI M port

Each of the four pairs of wires that make up the twisted-pair cross-connect cable must be individually twisted. For example, the wire pair connecting pins 1 and 2 at one end of the cable must connect to pins 8 and 7 at the other end. (See Figure A-1.)

Figure A-1: CDDI UTP Wiring Configuration--Cross-Connect Cables

Note The EIA/TIA-568-B wiring scheme is recommended. Connect all four pairs of inside wiring cables to the wall outlet and patch panels.

The cabling from A ports to B ports must be cross-connect, twisted-pair. Each of the four pairs of wires that make up the twisted-pair cable must be individually twisted. Table A-4 lists the EIA/TIA-568-B RJ-45 wiring scheme.

Table A-4: EIA/TIA-568-B RJ-45 Wiring Scheme

Pin	Pair	Color
1	2	White/orange
2	2	Orange
3	3	White/green
4	1	Blue
5	1	White/blue
6	3	Green
7	4	White/brown
8	4	Brown

10BaseT Pinout

The 10BaseT cabling from the workstation to the switch must be straight-through, twisted-pair. Each of the four pairs of wires that make up the twisted-pair cable must be individually twisted. Figure A-2 shows straight-through cables and Figure A-3 shows cross-connect cables.

Cross-Connect Cables

Table A-5 lists the pinout for Ethernet 10BaseT LAN port cabling.
