If there is an existing feed, use it. You don't need cat 5. After all, it's probably being carried on 50 year old cable for 2 miles to your building, another hundred feet of cat 1 is insignificant.
To answer your question, if you wire it up like an ethernet cable (straight-thru), it'll work just fine. If you want to use existing cable, you need 2 pair, and it'll use pins 1&2 and 4&5. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Berry Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 7:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: KX-T: T1 Wiring over Cat5/RJ45 This is a seemingly simple question, just want to be sure. I am running a cat5 line for a T1 drop from the T1 circuit that is terminated in the closet, to a KXTD1232 with a T1 card. The service provider is AT&T. Question: Is it safe to terminate the cat5 run with RJ45 connectors and patch cords, using the T568B standard? Or do I need to make a crossover termination??
