T1-Supported Protocols for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Systems
In some cases, the cables that Cisco Systems provides may not be appropriate for your Private Branch
eXchange (PBX) or Network Interface Unit (NIU) side connections. If this is the case, create your own
custom cables.
Custom T1 CAS (channel-associated signaling) and IP cables require the following:
•
Cat5e STP UTP cable with shielded RJ-45 connectors terminated to the cable shield at both ends.
•
Add the ferrite that is on the cable supplied by Cisco Systems.
Caution
(U.S. only) The FCC Part 68 registration number is EMC USA-34550-XD-T. Be sure to use only FCC
and CSA or UL-listed CSUs.
