All,

Could anyone tell me whether the following are three valid
alternatives for E1 cabling please?

Option 1 - RJ48C:
1 to 7
2 to 8
4 to 2
5 to 3
http://www.arcelect.com/Rj-48c.gif

Option 2 - T1/E1 Crossover:
1 to 4
2 to 5
3 to 3 (Not Used)
4 to 1
5 to 2
3 to 3 (Not Used)
6 to 6 (Not Used)
8 to 8 (Not Used)

Option 3 - Straight-Through

Many thanks

James.

Sorry to be so terse in the post above. It's really just option 1 that
I'm slightly dubious about as there are plenty of people selling an
"E1 RJ48C" - they just don't document what the pinout are!

I don't think you are looking at this document correctly. This wiring
as you specify makes no sense. The picture does make sense, but only
inso much as a telco installer would be doing it.

Yes, this would a be T1/E1 cross-over.. Used to hookup two devices
back-to-back.

Probably what you should be using?

All of the, relatively few, 1's that I have had anything to
do with have used a Straight through cable to connect
the end equipment - a cisco router.
Same with PRI flavour E1s and I think T1's too
although the latter have been a bit far away for me to
inspect the cable personally.

I am in the UK.

Thanks All. This particular E1 PRI is in Italy and we're having
problems with the straight-through, hence the need for me to make up
an alternative and send it out by post.

Doug - if I'm interpreting the diagram of the RJ48C incorrectly, could
you explain what the pinouts illustrated are please (apologies, but
I'm fairly new to Networking/cabling).

Regards

James.
