RJ-45 connectors with active
pair pins 4 & 5.
NOTE: The active pair in a twisted-pair
copper 5250-compliant network are pins
4 & 5. Use only dedicated wire pairs (such
as blue/white & white/blue, orange/white
& white/orange) for the active pins.
INSTALLATION
All cable connections to the IC263A MUST be AT LEAST
7.6 meters (25 feet) in length.
