3-6 Setting Up the Repeater
The simplest way to connect a workstation to a repeater is with AT&T Type D
wiring (D-Inside wiring). D-Inside wiring is convenient to use when you
connect workstations that are located with the repeater. There are two types of
D-Inside wiring that will work with the repeater: DW8, which is stranded wire
and more flexible; and D8W, which has solid conductors and is less flexible.
Typically, DW8 is used for shorter runs (less than 50 feet, 15.25 meters)
within the same room. D8W wire is used for longer runs and is usually run
through ceilings and/or behind the walls.
The connection between a repeater and a workstation is straight-through, four-
pair D-Inside wiring (only two pairs are actually used by the repeater) as
shown in the following figures:

frayed or worn.
