Cables
The twisted-pair straight-through cable for customer premises equipment (CPE) applications is supplied.
The RJ-45-to-RJ-45 BRI cable to connect the ISDN BRI ports on ADSLoISDN HWICs is not supplied.
The two-line Y-cable for central office (CO) and 4-wire patch panel applications is not supplied.
Note
The Y-cable must have the wires for pins 3 and 4 twisted together; wires for pins 2 and 5 must also be

Connecting the DSL Ports on WICs and HWICs
Use a straight-through RJ-11 cable for this connection.
Table 19
shows the ADSL WIC and HWIC pinouts.
Note
If you are connecting an ADSL interface card to an RJ-11 wall jack that has the DSL pair wired for pins
2 and 5, you must use an RJ-11 crossover cable (lavender with blue stripe). The RJ-11 crossover cable
is orderable separately as a spare.
