VIC Cables and Pinouts

VIC Cables and Pinouts

This section describes the VIC cables and pinouts for foreign exchange station (FXS), foreign exchange office (FXO), and E&M connectors. Use the following cables to connect the VICs to the network:

Standard RJ-11 modular telephone cable to connect FXS VIC ports (color-coded gray) to a telephone or fax machine.

Standard RJ-11 modular telephone cable to connect FXO VIC ports (color-coded pink) to the PSTN or to a PBX that does not support E&M signaling.

Standard RJ-48S connector and cable to connect E&M VIC ports (color-coded brown) to a PBX line. The cable wiring depends on the PBX type and connection. For details refer to the Cisco WAN Interface Cards Hardware Installation Guide.

Figure 2 shows how to connect the VICs to the network.
