Figure 53 T1/E1 CSU/DSU WAN interface card

The connector on the T1/E1 CSU/DSU WAN interface accommodates an 8-pin
RJ-48 modular patch cord. These cables are commonly sold as Category 5, or
Ethernet, cables.
The cable you use should be wired in accordance with EIA-568-A wiring style.
This wiring style ensures that the transmit signal (pins 4 and 5) and the receive
signal (pins 1 and 2) are carried on a twisted pair inside the patch cord. The use of
factory-made patch cords is strongly recommended.
You connect the T1/E1 CSU/DSU WAN interface card to the service provider
network using a straight-through cable or a crossover cable, depending on how the
service provider wired its jack.
