D-Subminiature Cable Connections

Type 'D' Cable with Jack Screws
D-Subminiature connectors are also called Type 'D' or 'D-Sub' connectors. The cable plug and
chassis receptacle each feature a D-shaped profile that interlock to ensure proper pin orientation
and connector seating. The connector pair features multiple rows of pins (male side) coupled to
mating sockets (female side).
Whether the gender is male or female, the cable plug features two jack screws for secure
connection to the jack nuts provided on the mating chassis receptacle.
Connection Instructions:
Orient the plug to the receptacle in the proper position. Press firmly into place. Hand tighten, or
use a standard flat-blade screwdriver, to secure the plug jack screws to the receptacle jack nuts.
Do not over-tighten.
About connector pinout tables:
Figure 4-2 identifies the Pin 1 location for either gender connector. The connector pinout tables
provided in this manual base the order of information (i.e., the "Pin #" column) on this orientation,
except where noted.

RJ-45, RJ-48 Cable Connections

The plug for an RJ-45 or RJ-48 cable features a flexible tab. The RJ-45 or RJ-48 receptacle
features a mating slot. This design configuration ensures a secure installation.
Connection Instructions (Figure 4-3):
Press down the tab on the cable plug and then insert the plug into the receptacle. The connection
is complete when the tab 'clicks' into position inside the receptacle.
