AdderLink Installation and Use Page 47
A3. Twisted pair cable
Many types of twisted pair cables are available. You may use unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cable with the AdderLink. Ensure that the
cable you use is of Category 5 or better specification.
The AdderLink uses the following pairs on the twisted pair RJ45 jack connector. If
your cable is terminated for networking use then it will probably be wired correctly for
the AdderLink. All four twisted pairs within the cable are used by the AdderLink.
Electrically, the cables should be wired with pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, 3 to 3, 4 to
4, 5 to 5, 6 to 6, 7 to 7 and 8 to 8.
BICC Brand - Rex cables are particularly recommended for use with the AdderLink
